KCPA Diamond Jubilee Results 2025

It was great to welcome our affiliated club members back to Ditton Community Centre, for the KCPA Diamond Jubilee 2025 competition. We opened our doors at 1.45 and let in 91 visitors who had come to view all the images that had been entered by the clubs that entered. The day started with a welcome to all and then went on to welcome our Judge for the event, Jay Charnock FRPS APAGB. In total 31 clubs entered this year, resulting in 248 images being shown on the screen. A 2nd slide slow was shown when our judge was asked to comment on the highest scoring image per club and the scores were read out for each image.
