Among the winners was club chairman, Tim Evans, who received three trophies, while new member, Claire Doolan, won two awards.

Tim said: “Our Annual Exhibition Competition is our season’s grand finale with this year’s entries among the best.

"Despite being unable to meet personally we had an excellent season, thanks to Zoom, which included two outstanding speakers from America — and no travel costs.

" We owe our committee a big thank you, especially the IT and programme team who worked tirelessly to make things happen.”
