Battle vs Gateway CC

Tonight was the away battle with Gateway CC in Dover.

The images from both clubs were to a good standard.

A warm thank you to Gateway for their hospitality and were looking forward to a rematch.

The judge did a particularly well job on a difficult Battle.

If my memory serves me right the scores were as follows.

PRINTS
Gateway 163. Faversham 165.
PDI
Gateway 160. Faversham 159.

TOTALS
Gateway 323. Faversham 324

So as you can see we won this battle but only by 1 point it was a very closely run battle which makes for great tension at the adding up the final scores lol.

Forum Posting

it has been brought to my attention some members are having problems posting on the forum.
i have tracked down the problem and it's only with Microsoft Internet Explorer. (the version i tried was v9 the latest)
Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, Firefox are all un affected.
The good news there is a solution the bad news its at your pc not our servers.
Please see the attachment for a screen shot showing the fix.
Basically you need to go to the forum in internet explorere then click on the button next to the web address bar showing a page torn in half (Compatibility View)

or use a different web Browser. my fav's are Google chrome as it runs faster than IE and also FireFox
