Photograph Competition 2007.

 

The group ran a photographic competition in September, with two categories to be judged. They were Plants/flowers of the garden and wildlife (including people!) in the garden. The impartial judges had no idea whose entries were whose and decided upon a winner for each category with some 'highly commended' pictures also chosen and discussed at the September meeting by one of the judges, Debbie Evans.
