Bracknell CC Bracknell CC ended the first half of the season with its annual Clive Harrison Trophy competition. This trophy is for a panel of between three and eight print images sharing a common theme, telling a story or complementing each other in some way when viewed together. The trophy is named after Club member Clive Harrison, who died in 2000. Clive was a Fellow of the RPS, a member of the London Salon and the Arena Group. This year, the trophy was won by Caroline Colegate ARPS for her panel entitled, ‘The humble piece of paper’. Her entry included a statement of intent that described the panel as follows: “The humble piece of paper can be laid flat, twisted or curved to form simple, elegant, abstract shapes”. Bracknell CC meets every Monday evening at the Open Learning Centre, Rectory Lane, Bracknell RG12 7GR. bracknell-camera-club.co.uk
