Particular credit goes to Kim Jones for winning the PAGB Gold Medal for his image “Camille Prigent – Canoe Slalom World Championships”, and Nick Bowman who was awarded a PAGB Ribbon for “Kingfisher at Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve”.

On Wednesday 11 February 2026, we held our annual friendly PDI competition on Zoom when 30 images from each club were judged and scored by Nick Akers. Last year Kings Lynn won by a single point, but this year’s competition was closer still, with both clubs scoring a total of 539 points. Kings Lynn had three images scoring a maximum 20 points, with Ely scoring two 20’s.

Well done to everyone at both clubs, and we look forward to another close competition next year!
