at the Aquarium.
BSoUP
also extend its thanks to Alan
James Photography, AP

Marine, Ocean
Optics Ltd, and The Image Centre who have each provided
trophies for the BSoUP annual Splash-In competition.
BSoUP is grateful to all those members and their guests
who helped to make the event such a success. First and foremost
Gill McDonald, without whom the event would not have
been the huge success it was. Gill was helped considerably
by Lesley Maw, Jan Maloney, Linda and Brian Pitkin, Martin Davies (film projection), JP Trenque (all things digital) and last but by no means least Jane Morgan, who did a fantastic job in organising prizes.
BSoUP also thanks Gill McDonald who opened, sorted and logged every one of those 134 entries, Gill, Anthony Holley, Jane Morgan and JP Trenque who gave up a Saturday evening to prepare the prints for display, Anthony who accompanied Martha Tressler to Plymouth to set up the display and Dave Peake (our “man in Plymouth”) who helped set up the display, kept an eye on things throughout and took it all down at the end! Also thanks to the Aquarium staff, in particular Emma Knapman, who helped with the set up, counted the votes and looked after things for the five weeks of the display. |
