Charlie was a very talented photographer and his favourite genre of photography was black and white prints.

Brian gave a balanced and encouraging critique of each print and then announced the winners.

Club chairman Alan Chowney had a successful evening and three of his prints were placed first, second and third.

Alan’s fourth print was highly commended, along with ones from Angela McCulla and Frances Price. Terry Hanna and John McCullough also had prints commended.

The judge commended the club on its high standard of photography.
