                                   Introduction

The event took place at the Principal Office of the Skipton Building Society. A very extensive set of buildings of which the main reception and catering area was used. Two side rooms were used for the actual competition, along with the main hall which was also used for the final events and presentations.

Harry asked me to take some photos of the 'atmosphere' and the 'presentations' which was a bit of a challenge as I had no idea what to expect, not having been at a previous years event. I think they have come out rather well in spite of this.The last section 'Performances' is a collection of photographs of the winners with their trophies.
