LSAPS Image Scores

The annual Seaside Invitation competition against Southport PS was held on Monday 12th December, hosted by Southport. The competition was judged by Robert Millin (MFIAP, FBPE, EFIAP/d2, MPSA, SPSA) who gave a quick but concise judging of each image.

LSAPS were trailing by 11 points after the first Print round, and although we finished ahead in the PDI competition this was not enough to overtake Southport who emerged as overall winners by 5pts. This is only a small margin given the overall scores of 678pts for Southport and 673pts for LSAPS.

Congratulations in particular to Mary Kirkby whose Brave Smile scored 20pts and was judged the best PDI on the night. Also to Gordon Watson who scored 20pts in both the Print and PDI competitions with Catwoman and Father Brown and to Graham Barker who scored 20pts in the PDI competition with Mickelden From Lingmoor Fell.
