Clubs Victory
We won the 3 Clubs Battle yet again this week, with an over all score of
305 points to Normanton's 298 and Pontefract's 279.
Print scores were Wakefield 169, Pontefract 160 and Normanton 157. Les
Forrester won best print with "Fairy Pool On The Isle Of Skye".
Digital scores were Normanton 141, Wakefield 136 and Pontefract 119.
The adjacent pictures show Vera Jones receiving the competition trophy,
and Les Forrester accepting the trophy for best print. Les was the only
person on the night to score two 20's for his works.
May Online Competition
As subject-setter and webmaster I felt it prudent to ask
Steve Wood to take in images this month, presenting them stripped of
their author’s names at the closing date to me, for my untrained eye to
judge anonymously. DO NOT EMAIL THEM TO ME – SEND THEM TO STEVE WOOD
(email address on "Club
Info" page)…your new subject is “MONOCHROME” – good luck everyone.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE
Please ensure you do not park on the service road into the
complex housing the Brookhouse Club (adjacent to the bowling green) - a
clamping system is in operation and your car WILL BE CLAMPED. This is
not the work of the Club, but the private houses set beyond the bowling
green.
Bickerdike Bestows Time-Lord Title!
John
Bickerdike has made his decision in judging the online comp - and
[totally anonymously! - DH] has come up with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
John writes: "An
interesting selection of images; from the conventional and innovative to
the out-and-out outrageous. It is difficult to convey the passage of
time in a single image, (although we should remember that a photograph
does have an associated shutter speed!) but there were some very good
attempts. I thought that the standard of photography was excellent, even
the 'Kershaw-esque' image had a good deal of merit. But, for me, the
winner was 'Slipping Through My Fingers…', a simple yet attention
grabbing image about the passage of time. In second place I thought that
'After Eight' was a well thought out and executed image with the right
balance of focus/out of focus. There was plenty of competition for
third place, a nice touch of humour in 'What time is Our Train?', the
ghoulish 'Killing Time' and the fiendishly complicated 'Time's Up (Would
the Brontes approve?) In the end I settled for 'Time Warp', with a
simple image which really didn't need a title. My congratulations to all
the competitors for all their efforts". John Bickerdike ARPS DPAGB.

Wells met with officials from the Hospice's fundraising tam, who were
thrilled with the photos we submitted - they're confident there's a
cracking calendar's worth in there, and thank us for our efforts.
Art Walk - We're In!
We've taken the decision to display a range of mounted prints in
the Chantry Chapel at the Wakefield Art Walk event held from 30th May -
2nd June. You'll be able to sell your work, so it may be a
pocket-money-spinner, with 10% going to the Chantry...we'll need 50-60
prints - more details as & when they're finalised.
