Results: The Shaston Challenge 2022
The 2022 Shaston Challenge took place in Shaftesbury’s Royal British Legion Hall on 31st March 2022, for the first time in two years.
Ferndown, Ringwood, Wincanton and ourselves did battle for the Shaston Challenge 2022, with each club entering 12 images. Marks were out of 10 with half marks as required.
Mike Weeks was the judge, and after a slide show of all the images, his comment was ‘I think they should all get 10 marks’. However after analysing each image we ended up with 9 receiving full marks.
The winners were Ferndown, who came 1.5 points in front of Ringwood. Wincanton were third and ourselves fourth, just 4.5 point behind the winners.
A good evening was had by all.
