After
an efficient and speedy AGM where two further members,
Tony Clements and Geoff Brimblecombe, were elected to
the committee, Ivybridge & District Camera Club
got down to its Best of the Year competition. The winning
entries from all the other competitions in the year
are re-entered into this event and the Best of Year
for each category selected from them. Over 30 members
turned out for the evening, a pleasing number both for
the AGM and to vote for the winning entries, and well
appreciated by those taking part in the competition.
South Brent member,
Bob Pike secured the Best of Year Colour Print accolade
with his ‘Inquisitive Robin’ photograph.
There are no second or third places in this competition
and two other photographs in this section, one by Ivybridge
member David Rayner and the other by Graham Buckler,
also from Ivybridge, were excluded by a second vote.
The Monochrome Best
of Year was won by David Rayner with a tall photograph
of ‘Corbiere Lighthouse’, while the Best
Slide of the Year honour was collected by Ivybridge
member Keith Mullin with ‘Fish Eyes’ a wonderful
golden image of fish on the fishmongers table.
Announcement of
the League Table results and awarding of the cups and
trophies won during the year, as well as the Best of
Year, will be made at the annual Christmas Dinner and
Presentation evening, which will complete the 2006 programme.
Next year’s
programme starts on January the 9th with the club’s
very first ever digital projection competition, to be
called the National Lottery Digital Trophy Competition
in recognition of the Awards for All lottery grant that
the club gained back in March, which enabled the purchase
of the digital projection equipment needed for this.
Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting from 7:30
pm at the Community Hall, Jubilee Terrace, Bittaford.
