SPS at the PAGB Print Championships

On Saturday 22nd October Stokesley PS was one of the clubs representing the NCPF at the PAGB Print Championships.
The competition is in two parts. In round 1 all 36 clubs competed with 12 prints, each print being marked by three judges using the international scoring system of 1 to 5. Our highest scoring print was Paul Forster's 'Winter Trees' which scored 12 points. At the end of Round 1 SPS had a score of 125 putting us in 2nd to bottom place.
The top 8 clubs in Round 1 go on to compete for the Trophy while the remaining clubs compete for the 'Plate'. 5 prints are used for the Plate competition, two of which have to be monochrome.
Three of our prints managed to score 12 this time, Paul's 'Winter Trees', John L Davies' 'Saltburn Twilight' and Guy Davies' 'Cambridge Bicycle'. Our final score was 57 points putting us in 12th equal place. The highest placed clubs won the Plate competition with 63 points so we were only 6 points behind. This time we did improve and there were 10 clubs with lower scores.
