OPS v Tonbridge :: 1st Dec 2015

Our annual friendly match with Tonbridge Camera Club is fast approaching. Last year OPS came very close to getting an away win. This year we host TCC on our club night on the 1st December.

It is hoped the home crowd will outnumber the visitors and the committee would ask everyone tries to attend. Light refreshments will be available after the judging.

The Selection Committee has picked one image from each of the following members:

Richard Waterman

Further to the above announcement.

As hosts the drinks, snacks and mince pies will be free to the visiting team. The committee will be asking for £1 from OPS members.

Also we plan to have a raffle at the event to help supplement the Societies running costs. Please feel free to help out by buying tickets and maybe bringing along something that can be added to the prizes*.

Tickets will go on sale tonight for the Christmas raflle.  

A list of prizes will be pinned to the notice board tonight.  Please add any additional prizes if you have any to contribute.

The raffle will be drawn after the judging of the competition with Tonbridge.

One strip of 5 tickets will cost £2 and three strips will cost £5.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Christmas Raffle last night both by buying tickets and providing prizes.  Together with our friends from Tonbridge, we raised £100 for the club's funds.

Sadly, the competition did not go our way this year (much like other years) with Tonbridge scoring 324 (18 per image) compared with our 307 (17 per image).  On a positive note we scored more 19's than Tonbridge and they were...
