The annual L&CPU Knock-Out competition was held on 14th November at Elm Bank Conference Centre in Eccles, judged by Richard Spiers (DPAGB, APAGB, BPE2*) from the Northern Counties Federation. Each club entered 8 images, however as 31 clubs took part, the number of images entered into the judging was reduced to 6 images per club. The standards were high and although Richard seemed to struggle to let go of some images, they were whittled down to 10 images, at which point Richard chose the winning image.
The competition was won by Oldham PS on a score of 25pts, with LSAPS a very commendable 4th equal on 17pts. LSAPS results and images are shown below.
