Well, 2024 will soon be at an end, and hopefully everyone is all ready for 2025. Deciding on what images to enter in the club’s internal competitions provides a welcome distraction to everything else happening in our lives. We’ve seen many fantastic images this year; hopefully, next year we’ll see more.

So, the big question – who has excelled and reached the top this year? Congratulations to every member who competed in this year’s club competitions, but, at the end of the day there must be winners, and unfortunately losers too. So without further ado, here are our Competition Winners for 2024…
