Potters Bar and District PS won the Jubilee Cup in a four-way competition against Barnet, Enfield and Southgate clubs. The competition requires a mix of projected images and prints and each club had to present six of each type of image. Three of Potters Bar’s pictures won the maximum of 20 points. A society spokesman said “although
we did not gain as many maximum scores as some of the other clubs we offered a more consistent quality of image and that helped us to first place”. The Society meets at Wyllyotts Centre, Darkes Lane, Potters Bar on mostMonday evenings from7:30pm.
