Each member present had the opportunity to nominate their three choices from the impressive array of pictures they were able to examine in the early part of the evening.

During the refreshment period there was a tally made of the votes cast and the result was then announced.

There were three which tied for third place: John Wigley's 'Wellie Good Denim Accessory,' Sheila Hudman's 'Leader of the Pack' and Roger Menaldino's 'Spring Time Woodland Path.'

Roger's 'Male Lion, Namibia' was voted as runner-up and then Roger excelled himself by being announced as winner with 'Loch Arklet' for which he was awarded the Oliver Turnbull Trophy.

The remainder of the evening was devoted to a show of all the seal winning slides from the year which were screened in sequences according to alphabetical order of the competitors involved and gave a good impression of their range of specialities in their hobby.
