We have received a sad message from Lynn Phillips at Amman Valley Camera Club.
With great sadness I wish to inform you that Dai Evans passed away yesterday after a short illness. He was a founder member of the Amman Valley Camera Club when it was formed in 1967 and was our Chairman for the last 30 years.
Dai was well known throughout the WPF for his unique style of photography for which he was awarded Associate-ships of both the Royal Photographic Society and the Welsh Photographic Federation.
He will be sorely missed by all at the Amman Valley Camera Club.
Dai is survived by his children Huw and Susan and their families.
Dai’s funeral will be held at Swansea Crematorium on Thursday 7 November at 12:30.

We’ve just received some sad news from Mel O’Brien, Secretary of Caerphilly Camera Club.
One of their long standing members, Brian George, passed away on Monday 22nd July. Brian was chairman of the club for over 20 years and one of its founder members over 60 years ago. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to attend the club in recent years to illness but is fondly remembered by the older members.
As a result of Inn Focus’ remarkable performance in reaching the final last year, for the first time ever, three WPF clubs made the journey to Warwick to take part in the PAGB National DPI Championships.

Ebbw Vale, making their first visit, and Tenby (former ‘Plate’ winners) found the going a little tough finishing in the bottom six of the plate competition. Inn Focus failed to repeat the achievement by just four points but despite their disappointment they went on to win the Plate competition by three points from Beyond Group, Dundee and Southampton!
Ian Munro’s photograph entitled ‘The Irony of Ironing’ won one of the judges choice awards (from Libby Smith).
A report on the day by Ian Munro of Inn Focus can be seen below.
Many thanks to Ian Munro for submitting this report of Inn Focus’ day at the National DPI Championships at Warwick.
For Inn Focus Warwick and Connah’s Quay are both priority each year and it’s easy to see why when you get there. After leaving on Friday afternoon we arrived in Warwick the evening before where we set out to destroy a few beers and an Indian meal. We try and make it a big social event and try and get the wives and friends involved. This was our second year in succession and we felt we had a stronger image base to compete. Also it had a different feel because Tenby were there again and also for the first time Ebbw Vale were there to help the Welsh represent at this level, which was great.
Inn Focus have won the ‘Plate‘ competition at the National DPI Championships at Warwick. Well done to them! More details when someone sends us a report. (Hint!)
