Mid Calder Vs. Livingston Competition

Again, congratulations to Mid Calder Camera Club – We won!
Thanks goes to the Judge – Ian Fullerton, for his entertaining, very informative, and enthusiastic comments. As well as for all his efforts for the event. The marking was hard but fair, as it should be in a competition. A “very well done” goes out to all those members who had images in tonight’s event, and thanks again goes to Gordon for his choosing, organising and delivering the images on behalf of MCCC.

Thanks to all the members who helped make tonight’s event go very smoothly. It looks like we are finding our rhythm.

On behalf of MCCC, I would also like to thank the many members from Livingston CC who attended. It was quite a turnout. And thanks for the opportunity to view some excellent photography, from fellow photographic enthusiasts.

Mid Calder Vs. MidLothian Competition

Congratulations to Mid Calder Camera Club – We won again!
Thanks goes to the Judge – Ron Bell, for casting his experienced eye over all the images, I felt that the marking was fair and the comments were very interesting as well as sound. Well done to all those who had images in the competition, and thanks goes out to Gordon for his choosing, organising and delivering the images.

What a great spread put on by Steve! You have done the club proud, as it really looked good. I popped out for a minute, and when I got back it was all gone – so it must have been good!

On behalf of MCCC, I would also like to thank the many members from Midlothian CC who made the effort to travel quite a distance to the event. And provide us with the opportunity to see some of their excellent photography. I’m already looking forward to next year.
