The above took place in the Bailey Café Bar in Enniscorthy, Ireland on
Saturday, 14th June, hosted by Enniscorthy Camera Club. 35 attended from
as far away as Bangor, Shannon, Waterford, Dublin and Kildare.
This is the second year of the Showdown, which was initiated by Jeff
Morris from South Africa. Last year there were 15 sequences - 5 each - from
Shannon Camera Club, East Leinster AV Group and South Africa. This year
there were 21 sequences - 3 each - from East Leinster AV Group, Shannon
Camera Club, Enniscorthy Camera Club, Pretoria AV Group, Melbourne
Camera Club AV Group, Camberwell Camera Club AV Group, Australia and
AV Club of South Australia.
The sequences were all judged by Robert and Maureen Albright in
England, who sent comments to be read after each sequence. We were
delighted to have a winner with Maureen Albright choosing Edwin Bailey’s
sequence ‘A Sense of Autumn’ as her
judge’s choice and though there were no
prizes for second place, Shannon Camera
Club were the runner up AV Group.
Fifteen sat down to a meal following the
Showdown and some energetic souls
climbed to the top of Vinegar Hill
afterwards! The next day, saw 11 taking off
in a bus, which stopped for photographs at
Johnstown Castle, Hook Head lighthouse
and Tintern Abbey. A great way to
socialise and enjoy the countryside.
Thanks to Rosemary and Aidan and Christy Edwin Bailey (left) recieving the
