WPF Memorial Trophy 2013

Yesterday was the annual WPF Memorial trophy, hosted again this year by ourselves at the Selwyn Samuel Centre Llanelli.
23 clubs entered this year and the judge Ken Holland based in Teighnmouth was from the Western Counties Federation. His scoring was certainly refreshing where scores varied between 5 and 20pts, this made for a very interesting critique (maybe more judges should follow his lead)
One club scored 3 x 20pt prints but still did not win, which shows how a more varied scoring can effect the end result.
 
Each club had 4 prints entered and ours were
Lonely Road by Arthur Lees 16pts
Silence of the iPad by Jennifer Williams 12pts
The Sadhus by Gary Martin 12pts
Clowning Around by Steve Milton 17pts
 
This left us in 6= place at the end with guess who taking the spoils yet again yes you’ve guessed it Tenby with 72pts (know 20’s either)
2nd place went to 3 clubs Bridgend, Cardiff and Inn Focus (last years winners).
 
Thanks must go to all the members who turned up on the morning to help with the set up and all those who managed to support the club during the afternoon judging. Also thanks to the local dignitaries who also graced us with their presence.
 
Not to mention the photographers who recorded the event for posterity? you know who you are. I am sure there will be some memorable images of the day to follow!
