Thursday 25th February
Film Night!
Thursday 25th February was an evening of two halves, both of which were ‘films’ of competitions the club had recently entered. Each year, Thornbury Camera Club invite other local camera clubs to a challenge in memory of Tom Crowe, a former chairman of their club. The competition is a battle between clubs rather than individuals. In each of the eight rounds, each club submits one image and each image entered must be by a different photographer. This year the competition was judged by Leigh Woolford AWPF, EFIAP, DPAGB, BPE3 FWPF (hon) who gave constructive comments and marks as he went along. The scores were totalled and a leader board created to show where each club sat in the ranking after each round. It was a tightly fought competition with excellent images entered by every club and after round eight there were only six points separating the first three clubs. Hay Camera Club were worthy winners with Thornbury Camera Club taking second place and Tyndale Photography Club picking up ‘the bronze medal’ in third place. Congratulations are due to all photographers who entered, thanks are due to those in each club who organised and pulled the folio together for the competition and acknowledgement must be given to Thornbury Camera Club for, yet again, providing another great evening of entertainment.

Our second ‘film’ was of the WCPF Kingswood Silver Salver competition which we entered in November 2020. The panel entered by our club, entitled ‘Modern Architecture’, was awarded a Highly Commended and of the five images making up the panel Don Grundell was given a commended for his individual image. Other entries making up the five were by Brian Wetton, George Ryske, Steve Stone and Elizabeth Restall ARPS.
