2009 Show a great success!

The 2009 show proved popular with past and new exhibitors. Again the photography section had an excellent number of entries proving we really do have such future David Bailey's out there. Judge Dean O'Shea was especially impressed with the standard of the entries.
See below for a full list of show winners.
 
The annual AGM and presentation evening, due to be held in November, took place on Wednesday 2nd December 2009 at the Bull & Lion. See link to photos below.
