Keswick Photographic Society was host to a three-way interclub PDI competition with Carlisle and Penrith & District Camera Clubs on the 12^th February. Members from all the clubs attended in the meeting room, as well as a number unable to do so who joined from their homes on zoom. The judge for the evening was Gerald Chamberlin, a member of Dalston Photographic Society and currently President of the Northern Counties Photographic Federation.

Gerald provided informative and stimulating critiques of all 45 digital images on display; 15 from 15 different members of each of the participating clubs. The images were scored out of 20 and three images, all from the Keswick club, were awarded the top mark of 20 points. These were: Male Polar Bears Sparring by Julie Walker; White Tail Eagle with Catch by Jeremy Malley-Smith and My Sweet Rose by Alan Walker.

The final points tally for all the images placed Keswick Photographic Society as the overall winner with 266 points, followed by Penrith & District Camera Club with 243 points and Carlisle Camera Club with 233 points. The Penrith club offered congratulations to Keswick for their success and a vote of thanks for organising the competition, with particular praise for the interval cakes.
