On Monday 9th November we hosted a ‘Battle’ of Prints and Digital Images with Faversham Camera Club. We had a very enjoyable evening, seeing their work, and they produced some very good images for our judge John Wigmore FRPS, MPAGB, APAGB, EFIAP, BPE3*. So good in fact, that they beat us! We hope for a return match next year.
