Chester PS entered the recent L&CPU Annual Knockout Competition with a panel of 8 PDI images. 40 clubs entered the competition, giving a total of 320 images. As per the rules the number of images used in the competition depends on the final number of images entered; so the first four images entered by each club were used, giving judge Simon Allen a total of 160 images to judge and critique. The competition went to 7 rounds, with five images in the final round.
Wigan 10 took first place, Chorley PS second and joint third place went to Oldham PS and Lytham St Annes.
Full results can be viewed from the link below. CPS came joint 29th out of 40 along with 9 other clubs including our near neighbours Hoylake and Birkenhead.
Thank you to Jim Jones, Terry Daltrey, Keith Fitzpatrick and John Wild whose images were used in the competition and to Philip Macey, Vikky Naudi, Sue Champion and Jan Wilding whose images made up our initial entry but were not used on the night.
