PAGB InterFederation Projected Championship
The InterFederation Championship was held on Saturday July 17th
at Warwick University Arts Centre. The Clubs representing CACC were Amersham PS
and Oxford PS (Finalists from last year), with Princes Risborough PS and Harrow
CC. With other previous finalists, and with clubs from all other Federations,
there were 37 clubs in all. The judges were Malcolm Kus ARPS DPAGB EFIAP/b,
Chris Palmer ARPS DPAGB AFIAP APAGB and Peter Rees FRPS MPAGB EFIAP/g.
The first round comprised 16 images from each club, and each image was scored
out of 15, making a maximum score of 240. Smethwick was first with 208 points,
Oxford 4th with 193, Amersham 5th with 192, Princes
Risborough 17th with 179, and Harrow 33rd with 162
points.
The top eight clubs competed in the final with 20 images each (maximum score
300). Smethwick won with 267 points, just edging out Wigan 10 on 266 points.
Dumfries was third with 252 points, Amersham 4th with 248 and Oxford
7th with 235 points. Both Amersham and Oxford are invited
automatically to the 2011 event.
The other clubs competed for the plate event with 8 images each (maximum score
120). Worksop won with 104 points. Princes Risborough was a very creditable 5th
with 99 points, and Harrow was 23rd on 89 points.
John took up photography on discovering he had a surplus of funds after giving up smoking in the mid-1970s. He joined Harrow CC in 1977, its committee as Programme Secretary in 1988, and was then President in 1991. In 1992 he joined the CACC committee, becoming chairman in 1998. From 1993-2003 John was the CACC member on the PAGB Executive, working first on the recorded lecture service, and later as chairman of the patronage committee: he also served on the national AV championship committee. John was awarded APAGB in 1999.
John's interest in still photography was highlighted by his 1988 print of Lake Bled, taken on a Harrow CC foreign trip, which won best print successively at Harrow, the NWLondon Federation and the Central Association. The print has been on display at home ever since. His love of all things technical included having a home darkroom and his interest in audio-visual, which meant travelling to many AV events.
John also supported Mary in her roles of President of Harrow, Regional Organiser for the RPS, and Chairman of Aylesbury CC. John died in June.
