2025 L&CPU Annual Club Competition

A Pretty Penny By Gordon Watson

The annual L&CPU Club competition was held on the 1st and 2nd of March at the Eccles Conference Centre. The PDI competition involves 24 images from each club – 16 in Open (Colour or Mono) and 8 in Nature, whilst the Print Competition again involves 24 images, but this time 8 in Open Colour, 8 in Mono and 8 in Nature. Each image is judged by 3 judges, awarding a maximum score of 15pts. In the PDI competition, LSAPS came in 9th place out of 42 clubs, with a total score of 276pts, whilst in the Print competition, LSAPS placed 5th out of 21 clubs with a score of 293pts. Combining both scores together, LSAPS were in a commendable 6th place – two positions down on last year. Chorley PS won both the Print and PDI competitions, and were therefore also in 1st place overall.

In the PDI competition, LSAPS had 10 images that scored 12 or above by Dave Munn, Gordon Watson, Carol Watson, Esther Parkinson, Margaret Keane and Sheila Giles, whilst in the Print Competition 17 images achieved this score, by Martin Christensen, Carol Watson, Gordon Watson, Brian Clark, Sheila Giles, Mike Williamson, Peter Darby, Chris Taylor and Mary Kirkby. Congratulations to Gordon Watson who’s A Pretty Penny scored a maximum 15 pts in the print section.
