A fantastic 194 photographs from 23 competitors were entered into this year’s competition, compared to 143 photographs from 17 competitors in 2021. The talented Janet Susan Kent A.R.P.S. (Associate of the Royal Photographic Society) and member of Bexley Photographic Society, has kindly been our judge again.
Judges overall comment on entries was “An uplifting variety of wellproduced photographs which were a pleasure to judge. All competitors should be proud of their entries.”
The winner of the Carolyn Raisbeck Trophy is awarded to Laura Benson who entered this year for the first time. Laura won 1st prize in Class 1 “Kent Landscape or Seascape” and Class 6 “Wish you were here” and gained the most points overall … well done Laura!
Well done to everyone who entered. All the placed entries can be seen  on the Gallery page under the 'MORE' heading.

JDSEP Day Ditton March 30

31/3/2022

 
We were given a fun filled day of laughter and fabulous flowers on March 30th for JDSEP day at Ditton. Alan Haines had us heckling , singing and most of all laughing to the well remembered times of the baby boomer generation.

Robin White wowed with his usual wonderful designs and described how he decided on the theme which led him to win Designer of the Year in 2019. His finale was truly astounding, reminding us that he had originally planned to celebrate Kent Floral Art's Diamond Anniversary. He asked that we video the unveiling to allow all those who couldn't attend a chance to see what they missed view here: https://youtu.be/TqP3bCiNwoc

Committee Day

18/3/2022

 
​On Thursday 17th March representatives from club committee's joined the Executive and JDSE&P teams for a fun day in Hothfield while dealing with problems facing clubs. There were ideas for things to do at clubs, chances to meet people from other clubs, breakout sessions for treasurers, programme secretaries and chairman to address some of their concerns, a mini-workshop, a mini-talk and a demonstration with a difference...... oh and there was lots of cake!

Many members arrived looking nervous as not sure what to expect but went away smiling having made new friends
