Brian George
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.
Results from Warwick 2013
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.
Full Results                         Awards
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).

Warwick 2013 – the view from Inn Focus
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.
Warwick 2013 – Inn Focus step up to the Plate
