Grant Dawkins and the Selection team (Gordon Rae, John Price and Suzy Courtnage) had worked hard to create the monochrome panel ‘Going Up and Coming Down’ featuring Staircases, with these results:

  • Ludshott PC was awarded a ‘Highly Commended’ for the quality of this panel
  • Grant Dawkins was awarded Second place for his image ‘Two ladies on the stairs’.
  • (The other images featured in the panel were by – Lesley Coombes, John Price, Harold Russell and Suzy Courtnage.)
  • We were the only Club to receive two mentions in the awards results

So a great result all round, and many congratulations to all involved in this achievement
