We took part in the Afan Nedd 11-way last Wednesday (9th December 2020). This battle, organised by Afan Nedd camera club, would normally be a print competition but this year it was changed to a digital format to allow social distancing. The event itself was hosted over a video conference service – not ideal, but it did allow clubs from further afield to participate and we had 4 English clubs join the usual Welsh contingent.
Cardiff put in a competent performance and were placed equal 6th with Tenby just one point behind Swansea. Melbourn were clear winners with a fine (and very enjoyable) selection of photographs – well done Melbourn.
