| The
annual Five Towns Competition took place at Whichurch PS on Tuesday 11th
May 2010. The Judge for this years competition was David
McGuire FRPS from Walsall. David had very kindly stepped in at short
notice to judge the competition as Tillman Kleinhans had still not recovered
from resent surgery. David said the way he judged battles was to view and comment on all of the images first and then score them all at the end. After viewing all the entries, the scoring started with the lowest first. David worked his way up though all the images. At the 16 point mark we had only lost 2 prints with low scores, things were looking good. As the scoring progressed Nantwich prints were still very strong, even to a point where we had just 3 prints left. Two of these prints scored 19 points, and the final print scoring 20 marks and taking the award for "Print of the Night" was "Horses in the Mist" by Keith Wild. As the final total scores were added up we knew that Nantwich was in a strong position with all those high scoring prints, and sure enough we took the overall victory with a total 171 points, 2nd was Crewe with 161, 3rd Sandbach with 156, 4th Whitchurch with 154 and in 5th place, Alsager with 153 points. Congratulations to Nantwich Camera Club for taking the overall victory and to Keith Wild for his "Print of the Night". An excellent result for the end of the 2009-2010 season. |

8th
March 2010 Official Opening of the Annual Exhibition |
||||||||||
| Monday,
8th March, 2010 marked the opening of the 8th Photographic Exhibition of
Nantwich Camera Club. The event was well attended by club members, contributors
and helpers at the head of whom was our President John Dodd. There was also
a good attendance by local dignitaries including the Mayor, Edith Williams
and several members of the Museum Trust. John was introduced to the guests by Mrs. Stone, a Trustee of the Museum and John in turn introduced Mrs. Christine Widdall, AFIAP, DPAGB, BPE3*, President of the Lancs and Cheshire Photographic Union. John gave a vote of thanks to Anne Wheeler, Curator of the Museum for her help yet again in staging the exhibition. John also thanked Wray Douglas for his sterling work in coordinating all the entries and supervising their display. Christine thanked him for the introduction and went on to compliment the members on the quality of their work and to say that she was pleased that there was an inclusion of film prints. Whilst she herself now works in digital she is anxious that printing, which seems to be bowing to PDI's should not be lost because of the archive interest in years to come will also be lost should prints disappear. She also said that she had opened the Southport Society Open Exhibition this week and recommended it to anyone who might like to go along. There were many compliments from non-members on the quality of the work on display and satisfaction by the members on how well the prints looked en-masse. |
