The MAIN EVENT at the November meeting 1986 was
the first Annual Competition for the Best of British. A total of
sixty entries were received, although some of the members who had
pleaded for a British-only competition were conspicuous by the
absence among these. The slides were each projected three times,
twice at 6 second intervals and then once at two second
intervals.
