After a very enjoyable and informative evenings judging by Dave Tucker NCPS came out clear winners.
Dave made positive comments about all the images and was perceptive in finding ways to separate two strong sets of images. Dave used the full range of marks from 13 upwards but having always first found much to compliment in even the lower scoring images. The 30 images from 30 different members format made this a particular tribute to the strength in numbers at both clubs.
A big thank you to everyone who turned up to support us on the night and to Leek for running a smooth competition. Particular congratulations to everyone from the club who scored a perfect 20!
