2014 Barrian Cup Report

This from Mike Lewis at Barry Camera Club.

The 2014 Barrian Cup on Saturday 14th June was a great success, with a packed Millennium Hall Brian Swinyard judged the 105 prints with constructive and positive comments and made the point that there were a lot of high scores due to the very high quality of work on show.

The Winners of The Barrian Cup were Western Valley C.C. with 97 points, followed by Ebbw Vale C.C. 93, Merthyr Tydfil C.C  93, Gwynfa C.C. 92 and Hanham P.S. from Bristol 92 points. The Winner of the Dave Cowdrey Trophy for the best Landscape/Seascape print went to Roger Walding of Dean P.C.with his print Severn Twilight.

Barry Camera Club would like to thank all the Clubs who entered with a special thank you to all the people who attended on the day, we hope you enjoyed the photography and the refreshments at the end. We look forward to seeing you again next year

Thank you for supporting the Barrian Cup.

Jim Holland

This sad news from Ebbw Vale.

We are sad to report that Jim Holland, vice Chairman at Ebbw Vale Camera Club has passed away. Jim will be known by many in the WPF as he was Chairman of our club for all but one of the years we have been in existence, he stepped down last October at the AGM but remained on the committee as vice chair. A strong character in the club he has kept us going when times have been tough. He will be missed. RIP.

Welcome Kidewelly

Big apologies for the omission of Kidwelly Camera Club from our previous post welcoming six new clubs to the WPF. Seemingly in their place we included Gower Photographic Society, who aren’t new to the WPF, they have just changed their name (from Mumbles & West Cross).

This was solely an error on the part of our news editor (that’s me). It was the Gower name change that threw me off the scent. I was looking for six new names on the list and thought I had found them all.

So, to all Kidwelly members, I am very sorry for upsetting you!
