The Welsh Photographic Federation
Undeb Ffotograffig Cymru
Jenny Hibbert of Bridgend & Disctrict Camera Club has been awarded her MPAGB.
Jenny is the first photographer from the Welsh Photographic Federation to achieve this extremely prestigious award. Jenny said “it was nail biting and I was over the moon when I actually got it”.
The MPAGB (Master) is the top PAGB distinction and requires twenty pictures of international exhibition standard. You can see Jenny`s successful Panel HERE.
Very well done to our friend, judge and member from ‘over the water’, Tony Byram, who has been awarded an ARPS to go along with his LRPS, DPAGB and APAGB.
The April 2010 awards proved very successful for WPF potographers, so much so that none other than Rod Wheelans noted in the latetst PAGB e-news – “I was struck by the number of successful entries from Wales � something very positive is obviously going on there”
Congratulations to Cliff� Emery (Neath) awarded his CPAGB in Prints one of the 18 successful applications from 36 submissions.
For the DPAGB Prints there were 32 applications� of which 19 were successful including our own Jill Baxter, Andrew Baxter and Paul Richards (Tenby); Haydn Thomas (Neath); Les Loosemore (Bridgend) and Mike Davies (The Vale). Well done everyone. Let’s see if we can keep this success rate going!
