Presentation Night and Dinner Tues 24th May

Hi Folks,

Presentation Night 24^th May 2016

Well what a night last night with over thirty of our club members attending the presentation night and dinner at the Five Bells.

For some members there was a lot at stake

With the club’s main trophy said by some to have been found under a hedge by a dog called Pickles

Once members were seated the starters were served to those that had requested them

whilst others opting out had a general chat over a drink

Julia peruses some of  John’s photographs, John has popped over to us for a few weeks as a guest to get ideas for his Princes Risborough camera club

After which the dinner of ham hock or steak was provided.

Now Vicki told us not to use flash when taking pictures of food

Followed by treacle tart for some

others the apple crumble

Then it was presentation time

And Aussie Allan carried out his last duties as chairman by presenting certificates for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each of the club competition rounds. It was decided to pass the certificates over to each person which all happened a bit quick for my camera lol

Julia was delighted to receive her certificate for the open round with the two girls in the enchanted place

And also Kathy with hers from her picture of the trick cyclist creating shadows

Then Steve received one of his many certificates for best ‘acting role’ and even perhaps ‘the best photographer’s hat’ lol and of course all the rounds he won in the competitions

Then a certificate for Dave

This next certificate and prize is for Bev, said Allan

which Bev receives

Could Dawn be left with a wooden spoon

No chance, a prize for her superb LP covers

Allan does a Harry Potter stance to get the next certificate

Which goes to Chris our new Chairman for the Broken theme

then a certificate for John with his picture of motion in the open round

There was a special certificate given to Dawn by Allan for Dawn’s wonderful progress in photography this year

Lots of people I missed especially Luke who has done so well, so sorry for not getting a decent photograph pillars were getting in the way

but this leads us on to the overall winner of this seasons club’s competitions

Aussie Alan the previous winner hands over the trophy to Steve, telling him that it is his to keep for a year.

I don’t think Allan is planning to speak to Sony for a estimate for the making of a club gold ‘drone’ trophy yet

Steve then gives us a little speech on how we at the club have all inspired him this year

A bunch of flowers were given to Vicki for her services to the club

Sherron thanked Allan for his services as chairman with a round of applause

I personally didn’t get a certificate of course but that’s the way the cookie crumbles but there is always next season

now where is my custard lol
