Thanks to everyone who entered the photo competition this year to try and win a nice trophy for your sideboard.
From over 100 entries the final 16 have been selected and category winners chosen (all category winners are in the final selection). This was done by blind voting, so no-one knew who'd taken what, by a mixed representation of the club - male, female, racing, leisure, and touring cyclists. Each person gave each photo a score from 1 - 10 and then they were all totalled up to give the results.
These will be shown during the club dinner in a slide show and everyone at the dinner has one vote to cast for their favourite photo, votes counted and the one with the most wins, simples. I have to say that there were some excellent photographs entered in to the competition and make a nice slide show, some very good ones unfortunately didn't make the cut.
The finalists in with a shout are:
Jamie Ashdown-Parkes
Mike Bainbridge
Nick DeMeyer
Sylvain Garde
Jean Green
Aodan Higgins
Ian Pringle
Marek Siwicki
John Watts
Those who can count will have spotted that there aren't 16 names and some people have more than one photo that got enough votes to make the final cut. I hope all the finalists have their tickets .
