2024 Seaside Invitation
The annual Seaside Invitation competition against Southport PS was held on Monday 9th December, hosted by Southport. The competition was judged by Tilman Kleinhans (ARPS, EFIAP/g, DPAGB, BPE5*, Hon LCPU) from St Helens Photographic Society. A few LSAPS members attended on the night and were rewarded with a good selection of images to view, as well as mince pies and cakes from Southport.
This year the competition was split into 15 prints and 25 PDI from each club, with 2 images allowed from each member in Print, but only one per member in PDI. The print competition was close fought with Southport finishing just 3 points ahead, however LSAPS established a strong lead of 33 points in the PDI competition resulting in an overall win for LSAPS by 697pts against Southport on 675pts.
Congratulations in particular to Bill Breckenridge and Carol Watson who each scored 20pts in the print section and to Esther Parkinson, Gordon Watson, Mike Williamson and Peter Flegg who all scored 20pts in the Digital Competition.
