This event was held at The Parkway social club on Tuesday 16th April 2019 and was judged by Chris Palmer FRPS EFIAP DPAGB APAGB. There were 15 prints and 43 PDIs entered by members of various clubs in the local area.
The competition is held in memory of Bill Dunn FRPS who was a highly creative worker, long before digital techniques had been popularised.
Chris Palmer gave his opinion on everyone's work before holding back quite a few images for further consideration and then coming to a final decision.

He gave 5 top 20 scores to Di Burns FRPS.AFIAP with 'Courting Gannets', Peter Malton with 'Emerging Hairy Dragonfly', Neil Malton DPAGB with 'Goshawk on Kill' and 2 to Colin Bradshaw CPAGB.
