Annual Awards Presentation Ceremony

As is the custom, the awards for session 2005/06 were presented at the opening of the Annual Exhibition.

This year the club were honoured to have Colin Wilkinson from Gryffe Camera Club, and Willie Mack, editor of East Kilbride Mail present the awards.

The following images give some idea of the awards event.  Of course some winners gained more than one award, but to be fair, their picture has only been included once.  Similarly, we do not have images of those winners who could not attend the Awards Presentation event.    Click Here for a complete list of prize winners for 2005/06

A fine array of silverware, thanks to our sponsors and the stalwart efforts of John McCurrach Stephen Lipton presided over the event.  Well, as Club President, I suppose that is his job ! Special Guests, Willie Mack, Editor of East Kilbride Mail, and Colin & Adele Wilkinson from Gryffe Camera Club

 

Junior Section

We were fortunate to have some talented juniors join the club in 2005/06.  A special award marked this unusual event in our club's history.  Hopefully it will encourage other younger members to join the club and enjoy photography while improving their skills.

The Main Awards

Many of the old hands re-appeared in this years awards list, but there were an encouragingly large number of newer members.  Well done to all concerned, and better fortune next year to those who were not in the list.    A full list of winners is published elsewhere on this website

Andy Donald receiving the "Presidents Trophy" from Club President, Stephen Lipton.  This is a special award presented by the President to the club member who he decides has deserved special recognition.  Andy won the award for being recognised as having shown a great improvement in his photography and for his quiet enthusiasm and support of club competitions.
Helen Ritchie received several awards, most notably the Jack Godfrey Memorial trophy and best print at exhibition award.
Jim Dowell, receiving one of his awards from Colin Wilkinson.  Jim has been a member for several years and is a consistent winner of awards during his time at the club
Colin presents Alan Mitchell with his award.  Of course all of our members suspect that Alan worked extra hard this year to try to keep up with wife Cathy, who swept the awards board last year.
Stuart Lamont receiving his award from Willie Mack, editor of East Kilbride Mail.   Stuart also has several excellent print in the exhibition, and had the distinction of selling one within a couple of hours of the exhibition opening to the public.   Well done Stuart !
Cathy McCurrach receives her award from Colin Wilkinson.   Cathy is fast catching up with husband, John McCurrach in her collection of awards.   These husband and wife teams have really perked up the competition in the club.
Andy Donald, winner of the Presidents Trophy, adds to his collection of silverware by lifting one of the competition category awards
