7 Way Pdi Knockout Competition at Blyth - Sunday 14th November 2021.
On Sunday 14th November 2021, it was the turn of Blyth Photographic Society to host the annual Northern Counties
Photographic Federation 7 Way Interclub PDI Knockout Competition. The seven clubs that make up the Northern Area
Group are expected to take part and in this event, where each club submits twenty digital images, fifteen to be shown
at any one time, together with five substitutes that may be used at each clubs discretion to either replace any lower
scoring images in the previous round or to benefit from the judges leaning to certain subjects. These images are all
viewed and scored live by a panel of three judges that this year consisted of Gerry Adcock ARPS, Joseph Duffy LRPS,
CPAGB, APAGB and Peter Maguire LRPS, CPAGB, EFIAP, who each gave a mark out of five using an automatic scoring
machine which then provided an immediate total for each projected image.
We were informed that Alnwick & District Camera Club were unable to enter, so the six clubs in the first round
were Blyth, Morpeth, Amble, Ashington, Wooler and Cambois. In a high scoring first round Blyth, Amble, Morpeth,
and Cambois were the four highest scoring clubs and progressed to the 'The Trophy' semi final, leaving the two
clubs with the lowest scores, Ashington and Wooler, to compete in 'The Plate' Competition.
In 'The Trophy' Semi-Final, Amble and Blyth went through to the final as the two highest scorers leaving Morpeth in
third place and Cambois fourth. In a closely contested final, the lead changed hands several times before it was then
announced that the winners of the 2021 Pdi Knockout Trophy were Amble with a score of 189 marks with Blyth as
runners up with 180 marks. In the secondary 'Plate Competition' Ashington had the edge over Wooler by just one
mark.
Big thanks to the Morpeth members who attended to support the club and to those who allowed their images to be
used in the contest. Morpeth's highest-scoring image was The Toffee Factory by Sue Dawson which gained 14 marks.
Well done to Blyth Photographic Society for hosting the competition in difficult times where even with the restricted
numbers we were able to enjoy refreshments and the pooled tea.
