NCPS News

On Wednesday 9th Nov 2005 Bramhall Club held its open creative print competition - open to all individuals at £1 an entry – with prizes to the Winners. It is reported that Tony and Dorothy Redford came 3rd and 4th in the competition.

The next day saw the inter-club Print panel competition and the inter-club slide competition. There were only three print panels entered, which, claimed Judge John Smith (from Rochdale) made his job no easier. Bramhall’s own entry was based upon Canals and though John was complimentary about the four prints making up the panel it became clear that his final choice would be between SLIC’s panel of pattern pictures and NCPS’s black & white curvaceous architecture offering. John liked the way the NCPS entry looked good from all distances, but he also appreciated the effort that SLIC had made to balance the tones and colours of their entry. The fact that some of the people reflected vertically in an image were upside down did not worry John. He claimed an affinity with bats! And the decision went in favour of SLIC.

After an interval to refill wine glasses (only £1.30 a glass!) the slide competition began. Having gone once through all the entries, John adopted the technique of pulling out the high scorers for further consideration whilst discussing and marking the rest. He finally chose a Curlew with its eggs (from SLIC) well camouflaged by its surroundings as his eventual winner. NCPS were gratified to come top in a closely fought battle. Frank Hutchinson accepted the Laughton Trophy on our behalf.

Final Totals:

SLIC 97

Chapel 98

S Mcr 99

Wilmslow G. 101

NCPS 102

Gorden had worked hard accepting and assembling the slides, leaving Joyce to oversee the assembly of the NCPS panel. It seemed only just that they should win a big box of chocolates in the Raffle.
