I’m absolutely delighted to invite you all to join me in offering well-deserved and heartfelt congratulations to Joyce Streets who was awarded a DPAGB at the recent PAGB Awards Adjudication in Southampton. Joyce submitted in PDI and scored (if my arithmetic is correct) 318 points, comfortably above the pass level of 300. DPAGB is notoriously difficult to achieve, being a substantial step up from CPAGB. Joyce is only the second current member of NCPS to achieve this prestigious ward; the other being Geoff Robinson. Our hearty, and somewhat envious, congratulations go to Joyce.

And here are her winning images:
