Last Saturday was the annual Gwnfa Pixels competition, this year 36 clubs entered only 1 short of the all time entry of 37.

We felt we had a fairly strong entry, however after 3 rounds we were only 2pts behind the leaders with our last image by Joyce to come. Normally that would be our banker, but on this occasion it fell short with a score of 13pts. Final scores below

‘The Axe Man Cometh’ by Gary Martin 17pts

‘Clowning Around’ by Steve Milton 19pts

‘The Eye of the Beholder’ by Jennifer Williams 19pts

‘On the Farm’ by Joyce Mollet 13pts

Our final score of 68pts left us in 11th= place, which is on par with the last 4 years. The eventual winners after a countback was Tenby who finished on 77pts with Inn Focus, but Tenby took it with 3 x 20pts and Inn Focus only had 2 x 20pts.

Best colour was won by Tenby and best Monochrome was won by Rhondda.

Well done to those who had images chosen and special mention to Steve and Jennifer for both scoring 19pts. Thanks also to Jackie, Alun and Joyce for accompanying me on the day.

Last night was the Gwynfa Piccadilly Albums competition, which we have won for the last two years. There were 4 clubs entered, Gwynfa, Merthyr, Inn Focus and Llanelli, the comp consisted of two rounds of 6 images one print section and one digital section.

Unfortunately we did not do great we were last in both sections and therefore last overall. The final result was a tie between Merthyr and Inn Focus, who shared the trophy 6 months each.

Our individual results were as follows

Print Section

Bambi Killer by Graham Harries 14pts

Taking a Break by Tony Collis 14pts

Railway Sidings by Arthur Mallett 16pts

Indigo Dye Worker by Joyce Mollet 17pts

Twighlight Years by Joyce Mollet 16pts

No Pallette by Jennifer Williams 17pts

Digital Section

Clowning Around by Steve Milton 19pts

Hear no, See no, Speak no by Graham Harries 17pts

Rain Rain Go Away by Alun Lewis 17pts

Selling Marigolds by Tony Collis 15pts

Shoemaker and his Helper by Joyce Mollet 17pts

Stranded by David Rees 18pts

Interestingly there were a total of 10 natural history images all scoring between 17-20pts and as we don’t do those sort of images, it left us rather short as well as the fact that when our entry was chosen the overall selection available was limited.

So congratulations to all those who were chosen especially to Steve for the highest individual score of 19pts (well deserved)
