KCPA Ross Cup 2014

This was held last Saturday hosted by Parkwood Camera Club, Chatham. The judge, Marcus Scott-Taggart, commented on one print from each of the 38 Kent clubs who entered a panel. Not all the Judge’s comments were positive but Betty’s photo “Details” obtained a very favourable comment. In my opinion the category scoring the highest marks was in the natural history genre.

Aperture Woolwich Photographic Society won the competition, Sevenoaks Camera Club being the runners up. Sadly Bromley came 36th. There is a trophy awarded for the most improved Club so let’s aim for that next year!
