PSA INTERCLUB – COLOUR RESULTS

In Round 3 of the Colour section of the PSA Interclub we came FIRST out of 25 clubs in Group B.

In Round 3, Dennis Archibald and Greg Caruthers gained Merit Awards, Alan Hinde and Roy Killen gained Honourable Mention awards.

We gained sufficient points to place us FIRST overall after the three rounds of the competition – two points ahead of our friendly rival, Wangi Workers Camera Club! This result will mean that for the 2023-24 season we will be promoted to Group A.

Thanks to all the club members who entered images for possible selection in all Rounds and congratulations to all those who had images selected to represent our club. Special congratulations to those who received awards.

Results for the other sections of the Interclub competition will be posted as soon as they are available.
