Awards, presentations and successes

Last week saw the final evening of the year for the Bognor Regis camera club - an organisation I joined a couple of years ago, looking to share a bit more time with other photogaphers in the area. The club has an enthusiastic and knowledgable membership, which I have enjoyed becoming a part of.

Like most clubs, BRCC has members from all walks of life, and also supports a strong competitive element as well as enjoying other photo related evenings throughout the season.

Last week’s meeting was the presentation and awards evening, whereby winners and runners-up for the various competitions held throughout the year were presented with the awards they had won with their photography.

For 2007, I was pleased to add 3 new trophies to grace my mantelpiece;

1. The Phil Preston Cup – for 1st place in the division one print league
2. The Tony Barnes Award – 1st place, set subject “Amusement”
3. The Arun Trophy – 1st place, “Two’s and Three’s”

A full list of winners for the year can be found here and complete league competition results can be found at the left of the page here.

The evening marked the end of the current season, with the exception of the annual exhibition, to be held on 6th to 11th August at the Recital Hall in Sudley Road, Bognor Regis: if you’re in the area during that time, I recomend taking a look, for some great works on display.

Sadly, this will be my last full year at the club since I am moving further afield at the beginning of next month. However, I do plan to still spend a good quantity of time in the Bognor Regis area and so hopefully I’ll be able to drop in from time to time.

In the meantime, I would like to wish all my camera club friends the very best, and thank them for putting up with me!

…and I also would like to wish them and the club continued success for the future.

Rob.
