SUBJECT: WILD FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE BRITISH ISLES
The response to this year’s competition was good, with 52 photo entries. The standard was excellent. Voting slips were handed out at the November meeting, with members choosing their three favourites. 70 slips were returned, with a total of 210 votes. The voting was exceptionally close. In the absence of an expert judge, the results show the top three ladies, the top three gentlemen and the overall winner.
