The 1st Set Subject competition of the season was judged on 21st October by Colin Douglas, who returned just a week after judging the 4-Way Battle. Colin had a difficult task of separating 73 variations of beach scenes, however he managed to run through all the images in the first half, then judged the fairly large number of held back images after the break.

The top scoring images are listed below.

Member Name	Title	Pts
Peter Flegg	The Morning Run	20
Gordon Watson	Dail Beag Sunset	19
Andy Dickson	Sand Ripple Pattern	19
Carol Watson	Shingle Street	19
Stuart Cahill	Someone Has Been Busy	19
Peter Darby	Sunset On The Beach	19
Elaine Cook	Tidal Patterns On The Beach	19
Karen Morris	Views Of Luskentyre Beach	19

Although Colin held back a number of images, he only awarded one score of 20pts to The Morning Run by Peter Flegg.
