On 14 December we held our annual photo competition.  The rules were simple:

“You can enter up to 4 photos, on any boating related subject, taken over the past year. There are no categories, so it can be selfies or sunsets, wildlife or party life,  postcard or artistic, and sails of any plan, set or state, ideally attached to a boat.  Scoring is democratic, all who turn up get to vote, and you can score based on  anything you like, artistic merit, humour, skill, or simply whether you are in the picture! We will vote on the photos without knowing who took them.”

12 members submitted 46 photos in total.

The honours went to:
First (Again!): Alan Gilmour- Scotch Mist

31 Alan Gilmour - Scotch Mist

Second: Charles Hessey -Cross Channel Racing 2

28 Charles Hessey - Cross Channel Racing 2 Comp

Third: Simon Holloway – Morning in Astakos

On 8 December we held our annual photo competition.  This year we invited entries that reflected  a member’s boating year, as well as calendar style images, which led to some amusing entries.

Members could submit up to 4 entries, and members entered 38 images in total. Voting was by those in the room identifying their top 3 on an entry list without any ranking.  Alan Gilmour gave a short talk on his experience sailing on Lake Huron while the votes were counted. Thanks to all who submitted photographs and attended on the night.

The honours went to:
First: Alan Gilmour- Through The Round Window
Second: Ralph Evans – Sun Sea & Sail (It doesn’t always rain in Wales)
Third: Stephen Woodhouse – Keep The Boat Flat
