The News

Comp #5 took place on 31 March . The Theme was 'Machine Parts' and was PDIs. The Open section was Prints. The judge will be Dan Minto AWPF.

On Tuesday night we held our penultimate competition of the season, Competition #5 with our judge Dan Minto AWPF, his first visit to BBPS. Dan's critique was brief but to the point and his friendly nature and sense of humour added to the enjoyment of the evening. The Open prints were first to be judged with Dan giving scores from 16 to 20, awarding four 20's - two to Dave Condon and two to Susan. However in third place was Susan's 'Patched Up', in second place was Dave's 'Egret Pouncing on Fish' and in first place was Susan's mono print, 'Last Light'. After the break we saw the PDIs with the theme being 'Machine Parts'. This time Dan awarded scores ranging from a 12 to just one 20, the overall winner being Dave Condon's 'Windmill'. Dan presented the BBPS Coasters to Susan and Dave. Many congratulations Dave, and I am over the moon to have won the print section. Our huge thanks to Dan who I'm sure we will see again. An excellent night (spoiled only by the debacle in the car park later - which is another story).
