Parkstone Camera Club Members do well in
Bournemouth Electric Camera Club Charity Exhibition

Big congratulations and well done to our members Mike Gardiner and Carl Jacolette. They both entered the Bournemouth Electric Camera Club Charity Exhibition in support of the Jon Egging Trust and did rather well with their prints. Mike came 3rd with “Jump” and Highly Commended with “Fierce”. Carl came 7th with “Kimmeridge Storm” and Highly Commended with “Shots and Stripes”.

This was no mean feat with a total of 147 prints entered, which took the judge Alan Cooke 2½ hours to deliberate over and decide his winners. Some great prizes were on offer and a good sum raised for the charity.

Well done Mike and Carl, a great achievement.
