Whitchurch v Nantwich Interclub Competition
Judge: Steve Clifford
On Tuesday evening several members of Nantwich Camera Club made the journey to Whitchurch for the annual Inter-club Competition against Whitchurch Photographic Society. Having suffered a record defeat in this contest last year Nantwich were looking forward to making amends.
Each Club enters 15 Prints and 15 Projected Images selected from entries to the Club competitions.
Judge for the evening, Steve Clifford, had a quick look through the prints on his arrival at Whitchurch and said that the quality of all the entries was of a very high standard. He began with the judging of the Print Section, giving positive and constructive critique on each image, retaining 13 for further consideration, 9 of which were from Nantwich.
There were 3 prints scoring the maximum 20 Points. These were “Girl on Four Chairs” from Whitchurch and “Homeward Flight” and “Left High And Dry” both by Bryan Averill from Nantwich.
The final Score for the Print Section was Nantwich 266 and Whitchurch 253.

After a short break for refreshments and a raffle the judging of the Projected Images commenced. Steve said once again that they were all of a very high standard. He gave them the same careful consideration as the prints and retained 9 for a second look. 5 of these were from Nantwich so things were looking promising but can never be taken for granted!
2 images scored 20 points in this section. They were “Black Rock Cottage” from Whitchurch and “A Mockingbird Mouthful” by Huw Lewis from Nantwich.
The final score for the print section was Whitchurch 258 and Nantwich 255, giving the overall win to NANTWICH with a combined score of 521 and Whitchurch 511.
Steve concluded by saying that he had thoroughly enjoyed seeing and evaluating all the images.
