December Newsletter
Last Meeting
In keeping with the Society’s traditions, the last meeting of the year
was dedicated to our Competition and Christmas Social. The competition
topic of “The Decisive Moment” produced plenty of interesting and varied
entries. After two rounds of member’s voting failed to select a winner,
the judge, Martin Faiers, was asked to adjudicate and, by the narrowest
of margins, Judy Hicks was declared winner with her picture of
Carol Singers in Trafalgar Square. Geoff Beer was second and Jim
Howard, third. Judy is now the proud holder of the Mike Hammond Trophy
for the second year in succession. Thank you for everyone who entered
and for all of you for coming along to make the evening a success.
