Congratulations to three PAGB Group members who had images accepted in the PAGB MASTERS OF PRINT Exhibition. This represents a terrific achievement for the club at this prestigious exhibition. Only 60 prints were accepted for the exhibition out of a huge entry. The acceptance rate was less than 7%, so the competition was fierce. Well done to all.
Sheila Tester had an image accepted in the Nature Print section (see image below)
John Howes had an image accepted in the Monochrome Print section (see image below)
Ann McDonald won a Gold Medal for the best Colour Print. The image is featured above, ALL WORK DONE © Ann McDonald
