Photographic Competition 2016

The 2016 photo competition was held on March 2nd, judged by Dickie Duckett and Mike Lane. As the judges said on the evening, the quality of the entries just keeps getting better and better. The judges chose winners and runners-up in each of the three categories – Portrait, Action/Behaviour and Flight – before the audience voted to select the outright winner and new holder of the Gordon Langsbury Cup. The vote was unusually close and only after careful counting was a decision reached. Judging and voting was “blind” and only when the names of the winners were announced was it realised that Mike McKee had won each of the categories!
