Largest number of entries at our 2022 Summer Competitions

The 75 entries, split into 7 main categories

After a two year break, our Summer Competition came back with a bang.

12 people entered 75 models between them, with every class having at least one model. This is the largest competition we have ever had. We moved to the conference room to run the competition, and this seemed to work very well.

15 club members had the tough task of judging all these models. The standard of models was high and the competition fierce across the 13 different trophies. 7 different people won trophies with others coming very close.

Well done to all the winners and everyone who took part, it was a very impressive spread. Thanks to everyone who helped set-up and run the competition, to the judges who had to deal with the tiebreaks and everyone for there patience and good humour as we managed so many models.
