| Meeting Report February 2005 | ||||
| As usual at February�s meeting, we judge the entrants to our annual slide competition for the Colin Viney Trophy. These are slides restricted to those taken in 2004. The six slides that the members decide are best will be entered into the Douglas Ridley Chesterton Slide Competition, which attracts entrants from branches in the South and East of England. Due to other commitments and illness the attendance was slightly down but we had five contestants. The entrants were, David Berg, Tony Hogwood, Roy Kittle, Ray Smith, and Ian Wells. The slides were taken from all round Europe; Turkey, Falmouth, Tilbury, The New Water Way, Norway, The Ghent Canal and Terneuzen. There was an equally varied subject, including ferries, bulk carriers, container ships, tugs, dredgers, warships, and tankers. During the break the scores were totted up and Roy Kittle was declared the overall winner. Six slides were also chosen for the area competition and included one from each contestant. The evening then concluded with each entrant introducing his slides and we thank them for an entertaining and challenging evening with its usual high standard of entry. |
