2025 L&CPU Knock-Out Competition
The annual L&CPU Knock-Out competition was held on 15th November at St Mary’s Parish Centre in Chorley, judged by Rod Wheelan. Each club entered 8 images, however as 34 clubs took part, the number of images entered into the judging was reduced to just 5 images per club, giving 170 images to be judged. A lot of very fine images were knocked out in the first round, then the remaining images whittled down in subsequent rounds until only 7 remained, at which point Rod chose his favourite. The club scores resulted in a tie, so the 8th tie break images were compared, resulting in Daisy Nook on 17pts narrowly edging out Southport on 16pts. The winning image was Reflections Of The Past by Colin Halliday from Beacon Club.
Unfortunately, three LSAPS images went out in the first round and we finished in 12th place on a score of 11pts as Congratulations to Graham Barker whose Brain Coral With Yellow Tube Sponge reached the 5th round. LSAPS results and images are shown below.
