The PAGB Awards Adjudication took place this weekend: -

Congratulations go to two Port Talbot members who were successful entrants from the WPF: -

John Davies who successfully achieved a DPAGB and

Gareth Martin who achieved a CPAGB – Well done!

I need to offer my grateful thanks and appreciation to those who helped throughout the two days as only 8 helpers were available they were kept working constantly. These are: -

Jan Cawley The Vale CC

Ed Cloutman The Vale CC

Roger Lewis The Vale CC

David Hunt Barry CC

Rob Owen Barry CC

Linda Wellington Swansea CC

Philippa Wood Gwynfa CC

Tony Love Neath PS

Mike Lewis Barry CC looked after the projection of slides on Sunday replacing my inept efforts at focussing them.

And of course the ubiquitous Philip Davies Swansea CC who is always there delivering and taking away the necessary equipment.

Without their voluntary input we could have been mightily embarrassed and it is their professional approach that allows the WPF to host events such as this.

The WPF attendance at the event was disappointing with maybe only a dozen additional people overall, these opportunities to immerse yourself in the best of British images should not be missed if you want to take your photographic abilities forward.

Hopefully you have been to see the Welsh Salon which will be in the Grand Theatre, Swansea for another two weeks.
