Competition Rules
We have some very sad news to impart. Our friend and member Jean Price passed away in the early hours of this morning, April 8th. Jean has been a member of Gwynfa for many years and served on the committee for a good number of them.
Many of you will remember the wonderful trips she organised to Paris, Dungarvan and Barcelona. Happy memories indeed. She also instigated our annual summer barbeque at Ogmore, another event with many great memories.
Our thoughts go out to her family and her many good friends.
We’ll miss you Jean.
Yet again, Gwynfa members achieved significant success in the 2021 Welsh Salon of Photography with 24 acceptances and 6 awards. Congratulations to everyone with acceptances. Don’t be disheartened if you didn’t get any acceptances as this is a tough salon to crack, perhaps the toughest. Only around 200 images are accepted from many entries. Please report any inaccuracies to Cliff Emery. welshsalon@thewpf.co.uk
You can see the Gwynfa acceptances & awards here. (Note: ‘SC’ means ‘Selector’s Choice’).
The full results can be seen in the links below.
Following on from the recent virtual committee meeting, it has been decided that all meetings for 2021 will be held via Zoom.
We intend re-commencing live meetings in 2022 if conditions allow.

The competition was judged by Dave Bennett.
We’ve just received the very sad news that, after a short spell in hospital, Alan Hoskins has passed away. It was not Covid related.
Alan has been a members of Gwynfa for many years and achieved successes in competitions on numerous occasions. His most recent success was winning the 2017 Jim Davis Trophy with his image ‘Blue Vanda on Slate’ (see below).
Until very recently Alan was an active member and participated in many of our virtual meetings.
He will be missed by everyone at the club.

Congratulations Glenn. Sorry we didn’t notice sooner…
