| The Ryder Rathband Trophy 2011 | |
| The first year of The Ryder Rathband Trophy has drawn to a close. Late News Flash! Congratulations to Rod Stowell ARPS for his acceptance in Argentina! The salon was judged before the 31st December 2011 so this acceptance is included in the 2011 Log. Congratulations to Gill Cardy ARPS DPAGB for her acceptances in Singapore and to Rod Stowell ARPS who gained acceptances in two salons in India. The judging dates for these three salons fell within the cut off date of the 31st December 2011, so well done to them for making the final days of the Competition interesting! It was gratifying to see such an improvement in successes in external competitions this year and we would like to congratulate every member who entered the salons during 2011. It is a wonderful achievement to gain acceptances and awards in National and International Exhibitions and it was fantastic to see some of the Devizes Camera Club members gaining their very first acceptances - and awards! - this year. Keep up the good work! Our members gained 135 Acceptances with 11 Awards and 3 Medals! Please do not be disheartened if you miss out on acceptances - just keep trying and you will succeed in the end. The immediate reward is competing for the Ryder Rathband Trophy, but the long-term reward is going on to gain distinctions in FIAP and then gaining honours in the Royal Photographic Society and other prestigious Societies. Robert Harvey ARPS was the very deserving winner for 2011. Congratulations, Robert! The final log positions were as follows: 35 points Robert Harvey ARPS 27 points Rod Stowell ARPS 19 points Joan Ryder Rathband FRPS FPSSA 17 points Chris Beard 17 points Gill Cardy ARPS DPAGB 11 points Clive Rathband FRPS FPSSA EFIAP 8 points Stephen McGrath 5 points Robin Gregory 4 points Charlotte Morris LRPS 3 points Jean Ingram 2 points Kevin Ferris 1 point Louise Gray Please click on the Salon Results at the top of the website to view all the details.
