Seasons greetings To all our present and past members

It’s that time of year again, and on behalf of myself and the CPS Committee, I would like to wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year.

This is the time of year where we look forward to delivering the second half of our season’s competitions and workshops at the United Reform Church, and the presentations on Zoom.

We must not forget the Exhibition in the Grosvenor Museum running from March to May 2024.

So, take the time to be with family and friends over the Christmas period and recharge your batteries for the new year’s events.

Wishing you all a “Very Pleasant Christmas” and a “Better Brighter New Year”.

Graham Jones

CPS President.

L&CPU Annual DPI Knockout Competition

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.
