Rosebowl Round 2: Amanda Wright Reports

On Thursday evening (20th November) EHHPS hosted the second round of the Rosebowl against Stoke Poges and Pinner camera clubs, judged in person by Chris Drury who we haven't seen for some time. Each club submits 15 images so it was a relatively short evening with just 45 images in total.

Chris scored between 15 and 20, holding back approximately 11 images from memory and awarding a total of four 20's. 

By half time the writing was already on the wall for EHHPS but we did manage to bag two of the four 20's in the second half, both from the Mason's, Kris scoring 20 for Elegance in Olive and Paul for the fabulous Pixie which was also awarded one of the 2 stars. (Judge Kevin Day of Stoke Poges was awarded the second star). Despite this though it wasn’t enough to save us with overall scores being:

  • 1st Place Pinner 269

  • 2nd Place Stoke Poges 260

  • 3rd EHHPS 255

Unfortunately with the now two Rosebowl losses I think it would be very hard to make the top 12 clubs to get to the Rosebowl Final

Our final Rosebowl round will be held on 17th February 2026 hosted on Zoom by Oxford and against St Alban's.
