The final scores are in! Both the DPI and Print competitions have completed for this season and congratulations go to Elvy Helman and Heidi Shreeve for winning the DPI and Print leagues respectively. The complete results can be viewed in the members' area.

If anybody would like more pre-cut mounting board, Heidi has offered to get some more. It should be the same price as before at £1 per 40x50cm board.
Please see her at the meeting tomorrow to put an order in.

Sittingbourne came a disappointing 5th place yesterday at the Malling Battle of the Prints. Just two more points though would have secured us joint 3rd place so it was pretty close.

Alan Cool - Phillipa Day - 14
Hoverfly - Heidi Shreeve - 17
Grub's Up - David Blackburn - 15
Little Ray of Sunshine - Iain Blacklock - 20
The Pier - Iain Blacklock - 15
In Pursuit - Thames Barges - Sam Pellatt - 18

The overall results for the evening were as follows.

Parkwood - 109
Dartford - 106
Bexleyheath - 101
Reflex - 101
Sittingbourne - 99
Staplehurst - 95
Malling - 92

On Wednesday could you please bring any prints from this season that have scored 18 and higher. We need to have ten prints for the up coming battle between us, Faversham and Sheppey.

I have all the digital images from previous competitions already.

Thanks

Iain
