No-one
has time, or inclination, to look at the website over December so I'm
including the results of the 'Girls v. Boys' Competition for dp images
(held at the December meeting ........... fun with a competitive edge!!!).
The
results were in favour of the 'Girls' (332 points against 312. I won't
say, "as usual!" as I may get lynched or have to 'eat my words'
with 'humble pie', after the next 'Girls
v. Boys' competition!).
Our judge was Christine Widdall, the Vice President (2010 President) of
the L&CPU.
The images gaining high scores are here:
