Alma Byng Competition

This year's Alma Byng competition was well supported with 31 members present and nine guests joining in.

There was a total of 78 entries (thanks for the support Club Members) and these were deemed of a high standard by the two guest judges, Annamarie Renaud and Lyn Northam.


Lyn Northam, caught in a reflective moment.

The overall winner this year was Ros Hoek - who also won the abstract prize.

Other winners were Ann Zwets, our FHAS Secretary, for her entries in animal life and for her miniature.

Doug James won the category for seascapes boats and harbours.

   

Clive Tyler (looking slightly bashful) won the prize for townscapes and buildings.

Tim Johnston won the portrait category.

And Marg White bagged the still life and flowers.

A rather overwhelmed Marg ... and with her beautiful hibiscus.

Once again, Di Breeze, penned the beautiful certificates in her impeccable calligraphy and Robert McAlpine provided this excellent photographic record.

We enjoyed wine and snacks and were delighted to have the chance of looking closely at all the entries.

Thanks Rob McAlpine for the pix!
