Following an enforced break due to COVID this season saw the return of our Print competitions and a return to ‘face to face’ competitions at The United Reform Church in Vicar’s Cross. Thanks to all the PAGB approved judges who gave up their time to join us and judge the images.

This season we replaced two of our ‘Open’ competitions with Landscape and Abstract themed competitions.

Over the seven different competitions a total of 312 images were submitted by 20 different entrants.

Congratulations to all the winners!
