Guests were asked to vote for their favourite image from the exhibition. There were 225 voting forms completed and the winner was Jane Jarvis with Memories. In joint second place were Catherine Flippence with Storm and Valentina Kulagina with Summer Rain. On Friday 29th October the Guardian photographer took photographs of Jane, with her winning photo, receiving her prize of a voucher from Photo Finish owner Mike Carwithen.

Below is a video walk around the this year's exhibition:
Under the direction of John Childs the Michael Heseltine Gallery has a programme of travelling exhibitions of the highest quality. Notable exhibitions have included, for example, those featuring the work of Peter Blake and of the American photographer Walker Evans. The club is very fortunate to have its annual exhibition included in this programme. In April 2012 the gallery will house the exhibition Northern Legacy by the late Harold Robinson, who was a member of Banbury Camera Club from 1999. His superb black and white photographs of Northern England from the 1950s and 1960s have been collected in a book of the same name by his son Mark.
Carole Nadine from the Katharine House Hospice (www.katharinehouse.co.uk) also thanked Banbury Camera Club for their continued support of the work of the hospice through the generous donations from the sales of members' work.

Also at the open evening were Mike Carwithen, owner of Photo Finish the Banbury independent photographic print specialists and Jeremy Wilton, proprietor of the Four Shires Magazine and ex-Fleet Street photographer.
Rosy won the Judges Prize in the national BBC Countryfile Photo Competition 2005, and for the past three years she has been one of a panel of eight longlisting judges for this BBC One competition. In 2011 this has involved the enormous task of reducing 55,000 entries to 3,600 photos for the final judging panel. The Countryfile competition supports Children in Need and raised almost £1.2 million for the charity in 2010.
Rosy has been a long-serving member of the Board of Banbury & District Chamber of Commerce (since 1996) and the Banbury in Bloom Committee (since 1988). She has also had a long term involvement with the Fine Lady Upon A White Horse appeal, the Sophieʼs Silver Lining Fund, and with the Banbury Hobby Horse Festival as official photographer.

The new projector was first used at our annual AV presentation. The general opinion was that the new Canon projector was far superior to our old HP projector and one member commented that it was the best image he had seen from digital projection. We also have an Apple MacBook Pro, which has allowed us to install Windows XP as well as the Macintosh OS-X operating systems giving us the flexibility to support both PC and Mac club members. We have also purchased Photoshop CS3, Photoshop Elements 6, Adobe Lightroom, and ProShow Gold to assist members in learning image management, editing and presentation processes.
