Congratulations to the Hutt Camera Club who won the 2016 Wellington Interclub Battle. WPS gave them a good chase right to the finish line but in the end HCC lead with a 2 point advantage.
Thanks to APPS for organising a great event and Helen Mitchell for judging such an exciting competition.
Well done to all the WPS photographers who provided the ten images and especially to Ian McIlraith and Dave Roberts whose prints got first place in their respective categories.
As usual, it was a fun evening of good club rivalry and socialising.
