SAPA 2011 Annual Exhibition at the Dolphin Centre
Dec 29th, 2011 by Keith Chaloner
In recent times, it has been SAPA practice to invite viewers of the exhibition, mainly shoppers at the Dolphin Centre, to vote for their favourite picture from those on display and – as you will know – Colin Cross received the most votes for his picture of an owl. As an acknowledgement, Colin was presented with the trophy (also of an owl as it happens but it’s perpetual and therefore always is) at the SAPA individual’s slide competition held at Bournemouth Electric on 9th November by the judge for the evening, Leo Rich. The picture shows Colin on the right holding his award-winning picture in one hand and Leo’s hand in the other. At what was clearly quite a challenging moment, Leo is also holding the trophy and the certificate immediately prior to the presentation.
