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).
