December meeting
This was the 60 second Competition where the only rule is that any AV entered must be one minute or less and no limit to the number of AVs members can enter. We had a magnificent nineteen entries, and as usual the range of subjects, styles and ideas was immense. It was lovely that there was at least one entry from everybody present.
Congratulations to David Cudworth who took the trophy for his AV Sea Safari.
Dave Gibbins was in second place with Kew Gardens and third place went to Malcolm Imhoff for Crich Tramway Museum.
We enjoyed the mince pies c/o Jose' and everybody won a raffle prize!

Malcolm sourced six of the award-winning AVs from the Jurassic Coast AV Salon, three Music Poetry and Song AVs, and three “Open” AVs, the Winner, Second and Third in each category. As usual there was a big variation of opinion from the members and our overall Winner the Winner of the Music Poetry and Song category by just one vote. We are very grateful to the various AV producers for the opportunity to see their work.
