<FONT face=Arial color=black size=4>FOLKESTONE CAMERA CLUB

Apologies go to Gateway Camera Club, as the results given in last weeks Press Report for the Battle between The Isle of Thanet and Gateway Camera Clubs were wrong !  Unfortunately, o­nly the Print results were given and not the overall result of Prints and Slides combined.  The final  results were:- Isle of Thanet 352, Gateway 353 and trailing Folkestone 339 – a disappointing result for Folkestone – hopefully better luck next time !

On Monday 17th November, we held our 2nd Print competition of the season, judged by Mr  Keith Evans FRPS DPAGB,   and as the letters after his name show, a very competent and experienced photographer, and he gave us very good comments o­n how we can improve our photography.  He was an excellent judge and gave a wide range of marks out of 20.  Winners of each section were as follows:-
