This multi-club battle featured 10 local photographic clubs who each submitted 9 images and ‘did battle’ at the Beversbrook Sports facility at Calne. Several of our members attended to support the Club and were treated to a very enjoyable evening and witnessed an outstanding array of ‘open’ images being projected.

With our rather disappointing past performances in club battles, there was some trepidation about how we would fare against such strong competition but this proved to be unfounded. At the half way stage RWBCC was lying in joint 6th place with Swindon PS and after a strong second half performance, we finished the evening in 5th place. The overall winners were Nonpareil Camera Club, with Calne in second place, closely followed by Frome and then Devizes. The trophy for the best image of the evening was awarded to Robin Gregory from Nonpareil.

So, the Club should be pleased and encouraged by our performance which proved that we are able to compete at a high level and outpoint some clubs that are bigger and more resourced than ours.
