Sadly I missed the very beginning of this the largest annual photographic competition in the CACC calendar which then spiralled into me not being able to get all our scores down accurately for the Chilterns 100, the first event. I wasn’t too worried though as Mark Buckley-Sharp is always on top of this whole event and sends out the scores soon after. Unfortunately he was in hospital this year, his normal procedure wasn’t followed and the scores for the Chilterns 100 were forever lost.

I can, however, tell you that our very own Dennis Durack won this event being awarded the only 15 for Eastern Eyes. Dennis was therefore awarded a PAGB Gold Medal

  • Ali Asplin from Harpenden came second with Church of St Thomas Slovenia - Silver PAGB Medal

  • Alison Jenkins from Watford came 3rd with Icelandic Arctic Fox - Bronze PAGB Medal


Projected Championship

The Top Scoring images from EHHPS were

  • Holly In Green by Shaun Hodge 12

  • Say Whaaat by Emmanuel 12

  • I Was Trying To Sleep by Kristin Mason 12

Results:

  • Oxford came 1st

  • Watford 2nd

  • New City 3rd

The Top scoring images, including Oxford's winning panel, can be found on the CACC website under Galleries

Print Championship

The results from the Print Championship are still under discussion as there was concern over some images from Amersham having been used in a previous year. Discussions followed and on the day the CACC committee decided that Amersham (the winning club) should be disqualified. This result is still in dispute I understand.
