It won’t be long before they are available for sale and will be available throughout the year. The entries were kindly judged by Jean Napier, our local Professional Photographer purely on the merit of the each photo. There were two people who had more than one entry selected, as Jean had no idea who had taken what. We really have some lovely pictures for it. These were two from Andrew Currie of Abergynolwyn and also Christine Radford, of Fairbourne. Both clearly have Debbie Ashton, an excellent eye for a great photograph. Andrew and Christine will win a Editor half-day session with Jean out shooting photos in a location of their choice, at a time to suit them (and Jean!) with Jean sharing her expertise, plus Andrew will receive a small cash prize of £50, as one of his photos is picked as the cover photograph. Other photographers who have contributed to the calendar are: Kevin Taylor of Llwyngwril, (residing at the Wirral), Kate Allsopp, a long-standing frequent visitor to the area, from Suffolk, Phillipa Millar of Llanbedr. So well done to all the entrants, we had a lot to choose from. Thank you for entering the competition! Well done especially to those whose photos were selected, and I’m sure you will see what a fabulous calendar it is. Sibrydion is thrilled to have the support of our printer, Jamprint, (www.jamprint.co.uk) who are kindly printing the calendars at Cost Price, so that we can maximise the amount of money we raise for the charities we are supporting, namely: RNLI; Aberdyfi Search and Rescue; Air Ambulance Wales; First Responders; all of which are crucial to our safety all around the year and also Welsh Hearts, who, together with First Responders have provided training to so many people, in using the Defibrillators, which we all have in our communities. Visitors to our area as well as we locals have much to be grateful to them all for! All profits, after costs covered, will be split five ways equally between the charities listed above. So please support this and order calendars – they will make a great gift! If anyone would like to pre-order a calendar they will be competitively priced at £8.50 and we can post out to you as soon as they are ready, for £1.75. Email [email protected] for details.
