Prizes and certificates were presented to this year’s winners by Patrick Roach, the eminent marine photographer. There will be a full report in the Spring Journal.
Our judges were 2008’s 1st prize winners, Paul Banks, Diana Irons, Richard Keen, Natalie Nathan and from the office, our club secretary, Val Tumner and Bernadette Knee. They had a difficult task and this year’s winning photographs may have been surprising choices to some of our members. Judging photos of this quality is very subjective so as our panel changes, so do their preferences. The short list has been passed to the Commodore for him to make his personal choice of the winner of the Alan Walden-Jones Memorial Trophy.
The prize giving and exhibition of all photographs submitted was followed by club supper, a most convivial evening. Patrick Roach is now an honorary club member.
