This contest between 12 photo/camera clubs from around Staffordshire was held on Wednesday evening, 9th April 2025. Each club submitted 10 prints and the competition was judged by Gary Langley DPAGB form Nottinghamshire. The prints were scored out of 20 with the usual “Held Back” for the top-scoring prints. The points for each club were totalled to find the winning club and the judge selected his favourite image of the evening.

I have summarised the scores for the Rocester entries. The judges comments were jotted down by Sally and I have forwarded these comments individually to the owner of each print that we used - see attached for the scores and thumbnails of the prints (sourced from our internal competitions).

All the scores for the competition are summarised in the attachment. The totals were sent out on Thursday on the RDCC WhatsApp group. We came 8th position out of 12.
