GB Cup 2012 - Open & Nature Competition results
GB Cup - Open
The GB Cup is a national competition open to all clubs affiliated to the PAGB, so we pit our skills against the very best club photographers in Great Britain, last year we came 89th out of 120 competing clubs - could we do better this year?
YES!
We managed an excellent 29th place out of 139 competing teams and we also came 2nd from among all the clubs competing from the WCPF.
GB Cup - Nature
There was a second competition at the GB CUP, this time it was for Nature images and Devizes entered for the very first time.
I am pleased to say that we managed to come 34th out of 130 competing clubs.
These result have firmly cemented Devizes Camera Club as one of the top photographic clubs in the UK, a great testimony to the talent we have among us each week, we should be very proud of ourselves. However this is not the time to rest on our laurels, we need to build on these results and see if we can finish even higher next year.
I would like to take this opportunity to mention what I believe is the reason behind our recent, good results in all competitions.
Obviously we have a depth of talent in our club and with new members joining all the time this pool of talent continues to grow but all talent needs nurturing to enable it to fulfil its potential. Its this nurturing of our talent that I feel is behind our growing success.
We have a Landscape Group run by Dave Gray, the Nature Group by Gill Cardy and the Shutter Chatter evenings hosted by Joan & Clive Rathband - all have played their part in raising the standard of photography within Devizes Camera Club. It is the activities of the special interest groups that have helped many of our current crop of top photographers to grow in skill and confidence to the point where we can now hold our heads up among the best photographers in the country. We are all still learning, that is the beauty of photography so come along and join us - next year it might be one of your images that is representing Devizes Camera Club against the rest of the country.
If you would like to get involved in club competitions speak to any of the committee members who will give you all the help and advice you need.  CB
