2022 5-Way Battle
The Old Master By Kuli Virdee
The 2022 5-Way Battle was held on Thursday 10th November, hosted by Poulton PS. The competition involves LSAPS, Poulton, Bispham, Garstang and North Fylde, with 15 images being entered from each club. Judge for the evening was Nick Hilton (EFIAP, DPAGB, BPE5) from Southport. Nick provided a good detailed critique of each image and explained why he considered each image warranted a score above or below a ‘standard’ of 15.
At the end of the evening, LSAPS scored 247pts which was slightly up on last year, but once again placed third behind Poulton on 269pts and North Fylde on 258pts. Garstang and Bispham placed 4th and 5th respectively. All the LSAPS image scores are listed below – congratulations to Kuli Virdee who’s image The Old Master achieved a top score of 20pts.
