It was great to have our 'old' friend Leo back to judge for us, even though we lost! Another perfect 10 for Dave Porter. He has done so well this year, both in our in-house competitions and in our SAPA battles. Well done Dave.

Secretary's comments: It was good to attend the Inaugural SAPA All v All Digital Projected Images hosted by Wimborne Camera Club. There was a good attendance from all clubs taking part, apart from Poole Camera Club. The judge, Barry Senior, is an experienced judge and knows his Digital stuff! He gave high marks and with the exception of one 6 and one 6.5, all images scored 7 or above. He held several back which he marked at the end, many of these getting 9.5 or 10 - in fact he gave twelve 10s! 13 clubs entered and there were only 10 marks separating the winning club and the club that came last. There was a good selection of entries and the evening went very smoothly. It was interesting, and something to remember for future, that Barry gave extra marks for presentation, particularly where lines and borders had been put around an image. We came 'middle of the road' which wasn't too bad. Congratulations must go to Dave Porter for getting a well deserved 10 for his Airborne Cyclist - well done Dave.
