This event was held on 13th March at Hailsham and was hosted by Rottingdean and Lewes CC. An almost capacity audience enjoyed the ensuing battle between the 22 clubs that had entered. Liz Boud judged the 110 prints with competence, good humour and consistency, few if any authors could have felt unjustly treated. Storrington's fortunes fluctuated by the round, at one time it looked as if we were heading towards the lead, but we ended equal 7th with our usual rivals Steyning. The surprise in the results was Chichester CC at next to bottom - they are used to being at or very near the top. Overall it was a very pleasant social occasion with a lot of superb prints on view - a pity that only 3 of our members attended.
Rye and District CC took first place with a total of 95.5 points, and also achieved best print of the evening with their “Silver Studded Blue” by John Bogle. We achieved a total of 88 points with Ian’s “Polar Bear on Ice Flow” being awarded the top score of 20 points.
Our entries were marked as follows:
Polar Bear on Ice Flow | Ian MacWhirter | 20 |
Pheasant in Snow | Ian MacWhirter | 19 |
