Sharp and to the point
Relatively new member at BPS, Paul Foster, won the trophy in this years annual, open class themed competition. Members were asked to interpret this years word ‘sharp’.
Paul’s well composed entry of some coloured pencils won him the title and trophy for a year as well as first place in his class in the following months print competion.
The theme that he has chosen for next year is ‘reflections’.
Well done Paul.
10 out of 10 for 2
Bps held their annual ‘Alan Coleman’ Black and White inter-club competition recently. BPS came 5th out of 7 clubs, with Loughton Camera Club taking first place. With only 6 ½ points difference between the top and bottom clubs scores, it was an exciting competition, for which the title is much sought after.
Two BPS members, David Hall and Graham Parry, were awarded the full 10 points for each of their entries.
Well done to all that entered and we look forward to next year, as it is a great night to see the best Black and White work from the clubs that enter.

Some of BPS’s members were luckily enough to visit East Ham Town Hall, for afternoon tea with the Mayor of Barking and Dagenham, Councillor Nirmal Singh Gill and his wife. A good time was had by all that attended.
