Two Crewe Photographic Society members were acknowledged for their outstanding work by having their images accepted to be exhibited in the Shrewsbury Open Photographic Exhibition 2022. In her introduction to the exhibition, chairman Judy Mainwaring BPE2*, said there were over 4000 entries with nearly a third of them being nature photographs. This gave the well qualified judges, judges, Linda Bell EFIAP GPU2, AWPF DPAGB BPE5*, Jon Baker, MFIAP EFIAP/p, Gordon Jenkins Hon PAGB and Ralph Duckett MPAGB APAGB EFIAP a difficult task in deciding which to accept.

Ian Whiston DPAGB EFIAP/p FBPE EPSA added another gold medal to his ever growing collection. He was awarded the PAGB Gold Medal for the best overall Entry (Most points in one section) for his ‘Lion Cub Pursing Tommie Lamb’ (Commended), ‘Lion Cub Pouncing on Mum’s Tail’, ‘Cheetah Cub Playing with Mother’ (Highly Commended) and his ‘Cheetah with Family’ gained a silver medal.
