Winner of the Wendy Gossage Trophy for Photographer of the Year

This new trophy goes to the photograper who has scored the most points across all the categories. 

The winner, with 24 points, is Dave Thomas.

Dave accumulated 4 first places, 3 2nd places and 6 3rd places.

Well done Dave. A very worthy winner with some excellent photographs.


The competition was once again well supported by the membership, with many very worthy photographs, which on another night, may have ended up as category winners. Our thanks go once again to Peter Walmsley for judging the competition. Not an enviable task. Thanks also go to Dave Thomas for collating all the entries and for presenting the evening.
