Warminster v SCC 2012 – Wow, a thrilling finish!

Thursday 29th November was certainly a night to remember.  We had invited Warminster Camera Club to a friendly competition knowing full well they had some very talented and experienced members.  Our guest judge, Reg Clark, was from Boscombe Camera Club who also have high standards so it was no great surprise to us when Warminster got three 10’s for their prints against our highest of a 9½ giving them a strong 6 point lead.  However our spirits rose in the second half when it was our turn to get three 10’s  in the PDI round.  After a few more moments of hasty adding and cross-checking, it turned out that our lead in the PDI’s was higher than Warminster’s in the prints leaving us the evening’s victors by just half a point.  A very enjoyable evening for all and especial thanks to Reg for his very helpful comments on a wide variety of images, and to Warminster for giving us such an exciting competition.
