Sue Clark HonNWPA
Congratulations to Sue Clark on receiving and HonNWPA award for exceptional services , Here's Sue receiving her award from president Charles Meadows at Conwy camera Club
Nomination for Susan Clark for NWPA Hons:
Sue has made a rich and varied contribution to amateur photography in North Wales since she joined Conwy Camera Club in 2010. She is always in great demand as a speaker and a judge across North Wales and further afield. She is a highly competent photographer and has a passion for the history of photography and photographic techniques having embraced Photoshop since its infancy.
Despite being one of the largest clubs in North Wales over the last 20 years, Conwy has produced relatively few competition judges. Sue is a very well respected judge throughout North Wales and beyond and is known to be scrupulously fair, always well prepared and highly professional. Feedback from clubs where she has judged is always positive! The Club is grateful to Sue for her tireless work as a judge and proud of her experience and expertise and is proud of the high esteem in which she is held.

Christine Langford HonPAGB
A huge, and well deserved, Congratulations to Christine Langford, who has been awarded the prestigious JS Lancaster Medal by the PAGB, the highest honour they hand out to individuals, for all the years of hard work, not only to the PAGB … but also the NWPA, Eryri PS and Dwyfor CC. She was awarded the honour by Peter Young, Vice president of the PAGB, in front of friends at the Eryri PS meeting. She was taken aback at being awarded this honour, and a few tears were shed.
Christine has been the Oracle within the NWPA, always willing to help and hand out advice. Always working in the background at most of the events NWPA run, and always at hand on the day of the events…..this also reflects within the Eryri PS, she runs it….all by herself.
Info: The J S Lancaster Medal was instituted in 1998 to recognise exceptional service to the PAGB, and is named after its first Secretary. Award holders may use the designation ‘HonPAGB’, replacing any previous award of APAGB.
