Annual AV Competition 11 March 2011

The Judges, Tony and Marjorie Furmston FRPS(s) had eight entries to Judge. They complemented the overall high standard of the entries.

They started by running through all entries first without comment and then with comments. Following a break when they showed members some of their award winning AV's past and present they then announced the results of the competition.
