After our 1st and 2nd in the Individual competition, expectations were high yesterday evening for a similar performance in the Inter-club print and PDI competitions. Alas, it was not to be and we had to settle for joint 3rd in the prints and joint 2nd in the PDIs behind Macclesfield CC who won both competitions at their first attempt. Some seven or eight local clubs competed in the two competitions  where the standard of work submitted was pleasingly high, especially in the print competition. The judge, Mr Tony Keeley, guaranteed a close finish by scoring all images between 16 and 19 with only one  in each of the print and PDI competitions being rewarded with the 19s. Neither of them was one of ours!  Thadeus, which had won £50 the previous evening, was awarded just 16 points in the prints as was one of our bankers in the PDI – “The Plaything” from Jackie Robinson. Rob’s “Cheetah with Cubs” was thought to have one too many cubs and was similarly dismissed.

Results and individual scores were as follows:
