Congratulations are due to Aamir and Lisa who scooped up the big money prizes at Bramhall P.S exhibition’s opening last evening.
In the Individual Print Competition, Aamir’s monochrome print “Thaddeus” was the outright winner and Lisa’s artistic “Lion” print came second.
The traditionally large NCPS supporters group in the audience was there to add volume to the applause as our successful duo collected their envelopes and although no money was shared out (!) we did get a couple of chocolates apiece from our other members’ raffle prize wins.
The rest of the NCPS members’ prints came nowhere, basically, but we amused ourselves greatly by trying to second-guess the judges verdicts on our work, which we failed to do – in a big way. How could they (or we) get it so wrong!
No doubt a full report of Bramhall’s exhibition events will appear on their website in due course including the results from their inter-club competitions that take place tonight. Suffice to say here that Aamir and Lisa have got us off to a flying start.
Hi Tony,
As I said last night the 3 judges (should have gone to Spec-Savers )
I think Amir and Lisa deserved to win the cash, which we did agree to share if anyone of us won!!!! didn’t we?
Dave
P.S. who was giving out the chocolates?
Don’t ever be too critical of a judge. I can confirm from personal experiences that It’s a difficult and thankless task! Maybe WE got it wrong on Wednesday but in any event it was all good fun. Sorry you missed out on the chocs. You sat on the wrong side. As for the money, we were just too optimistic in expecting a share-out!
