The fourth year of Beaulieu Camera Group's "Boys v Girls" competition took place on 20th September. With the "Boys" in the lead by 3-0 overall, the "Girls" were certainly keen to narrow the gap this year.

The members of each team were invited to submit up to 3 PDI images to their Team Captains whose task was to choose twenty to represent them.

Our judge for the event was Alan Harris, Programme Secretary of Lymington Camera Club. This was the first time Alan, who is an accomplished photographer, had judged an external competition and he did an excellent job of assessing each image.

There was a great array of subjects and genres shown, with Alan giving equal consideration to all.  It was certainly a very close fought competition. The images were scored out of 10 and the team with the most marks were declared the winners.

The final result was another win for "The Boys'" team who scored a total of 174 marks with "The Girls'" team scoring a total of 168. The "Girls" were gracious in defeat and the victorious "Boys" kindly shared the winners' prize of a box of Heroes with them.

Congratulations to the following members whose images scored 10: Paul Berkeley ARPS DPAGB for "No Way Back"", Rob Snellgrove LRPS for "Over My Shoulder" and Maggie White CPAGB for "Twisted Stamens".
