It was good to welcome members of Farnborough Camera Club and Aldershot, Farnham & Fleet Camera Club to Yateley, for the annual Spectrum & Heywood Competitions. The Spectrum Competition is a Theme PDI - this year the theme was 'Macro & Micro'. The Heywood competition is an Open PDI.

Judging was by Graham Mansfield, who did an excellent job, stepping in at the last minute as a replacement for Micki Aston, who has fractured her ankle. We wish Micki all the best for a speedy recovery.
