Blandford Forum Camera Club

Photographs of Dorset Churches, or parts thereof, are produced annually by members in competition for the N K Phillips Cup (prints) and the Secretary’s Cup (slides) and this season’s events took place at the club on Tuesday 19th February.  The competitions were well supported with forty-six prints and twelve slides being judged by Mike Weeks of Wareham, who remarked upon the high quality of the work submitted.  Mike is no stranger to our club and occasional good natured banter added light relief to the serious business of selecting the winning images. The Phillips Cup was won by Malcolm Bowditch (with a picture of St. Mary’s, Almer) who also came second, whilst Keith Chaloner took the third spot.  Highly commended images were by Norman Carey, Keith Chaloner, Colin Sansom (2) and Malcolm Bowditch. The Secretary’s Cup was won by Eric Langley (with a slide of St Nicholas’, at Winterborne Clenstonch), who also came second.  In this competition, David Cornes was third and Bernard Smith was highly commended.
