NORFED Annual Dinner Dance

The Annual Dinner Dance for 2012 will be held on 3rd November - details to follow.

The 2011 Annual Dinner was held on Saturday 29 October and we were pleased that the number sitting down showed an increase from 2010.

The photographic competition attracted a good entry of high quality pictures in the various categories.  The 'FILM' category (which in recent years has included video) has had the definition widened so that it now includes audio/visual presentations.

The results were as follows;

            Prints                            Shark off the Azores, Gary Fell, Worsley Branch

            Digital Photographs       Remoras Turning, Ros Parmenter, Pennine Orca Branch

            Film                              Red Sea Adventure, Barbara Findlow, RoHo Branch

            Juniors                          Inquisitive Seal, Ben Parker, RoHo Branch                  

This last category is a new one and we hope it will encourage more photographic activity within the junior club membership

Photographer of the Year 2011, for demonstrating a range of photographic skills, was awarded to
            Barbara Findlow, RoHo Branch

The premier award of the year 'The Sir Wavell Wakefield Trophy' for the Diver of the Year was awarded to
            Lindsey Crossley, Worsley Branch

Sad to say we missed the presence of Alan and Pat Watkinson, as most will know Alan sadly passed away earlier in the year.

 

Please will all members reading this, send their current email address to John Parkinson so that we can update our communication list. Thank You.
