Photo Competition 2023
On 13 December we held our annual photo competition. This is always an opportunity to see where members have sailed, with the club or otherwise, and what they’ve seen. Photos can be scenic, sunsets, action, relaxation, wildlife, basically anything maritime taken in the last year. Members can enter up to four photos.
The winners, first second and third, are decided by the members attending on the night who can vote for up to 5 photos that they like the most. For the record, as it came up so we democratically decided it, people are not allowed to vote for their own photos. There are no preset judging criteria, the winners are simply the ones liked by the most people.
This year we added a further twist. All the photographers were listed and one photo from each was included in a shortened selection; those present then had to guess the photographer and the one who identified the most also won prize.
14 members submitted 46 photos (same as last year) in total. We show the winners first below, then scroll down to see all the entries
The honours went to:
First: Flying The Blues – Sian Brewster
Second: Merlin Rockets On The Start Line At Salcombe – Trish Lloyd
Third: Corfu – Charles Hessey

Charles HesseyCruising Secretary and Safety Officer cruising@bromsgroveboaters.co.uk Charles has been sailing for 15 years plus, regularly covering over 1000 Nm a year. He is a skipper for BB charter weekends and has organised Corfu charter trips. While he does race his own boat he admits to rarely troubling the podium in regatta sailing, unless it is in his home waters, but do ask him about the major trophy he won when the wind really blew in his favour!
