with the annual awards and presentation evening. This is a celebration of the members’ photographic work and
during the evening Competition Secretary Davy Bolam presented a new Audio Visual show that featured entries
from this seasons competitions and images submitted to the website gallery, together with a small number of
new and unseen images and favourites from the club archive. Set to an appropriate musical soundtrack we saw
a series of work featuring sculptures, art installation's, people, birds and flowers, architecture, castles, creative
impressions, treescapes, local views, lakes, lochs and landscapes, seascapes and sunsets, all crafted together
into a linear audio visual epitome.
The Awards ceremony then followed as the competition secretary gave a brief explanation of the points system
