Faversham had a good contingent at the KCPA's Ross Cup, First of all congratulations to David Gethin for attaining a merit award, there were some excellent prints at this years competition and it looked like it would certainly be a close fought competition.

I reckon to come fourth out of an entry of 32 clubs is a very good performance by Faversham, the judge's comments on some of the entries showed what
his personal likes were, and I am sure that some of the new members that attended had their eyes opened by some of the images shown and the marks attained by those images, the scoring was out of (20) twenty, and some prints were marked at 8 / 10 / 11 a recent lecturer at Faversham entered a great
shot of a statue, detail throughout, writing on the statues plinth crystal clear, but only managed a 15 score, last week our Kevin scored a 17 for his picture
Virgin 747 & the Red Arrows, in the competition there was an almost identical image?? this scored 19 and obtained a merit award (Kev's print is better) so
it shows how judges look at images in a different way.
I dont know if David knows this, but it is tradition within the club that, should anyone attain a merit award at the Ross Cup, thay have to buy the tea's at
the next club meeting, ok David I made it up, dont panic, but the rule stands, the lowest scoring member does the washing up, Marigolds out ?????
Bob.
