Photos arrive in this HC category for numerous reasons, not delivered before the deadline, not showing an obvious link to cycling, not taken by the person submitting the photo, exceeding the quota of two photos per category, or not meeting other criteria for the competition. But they are good photos all the same so we are pleased to be able to exhibit them along with those in the main categories.

A big thank you to Graham Holder and Dave Ferrett who judged the photos this year, (along with myself). Due to there not being so many photos in the competition we were able to include in the display a selection of Dave Vine's excellent photos from his cycling exploits in Mallorca last October.

I remain grateful to Jez Darvill at Bowlrite in Tolworth who engraved all thirteen trophies in plenty of time for our presentation.

Thank you to Simon for lining up all the contenders' articles and to the committee for reading through all the reports to arrive at the winning entry for this prize.

Thank you to everyone who took part and congratulations to all prize-winners.

We hope that the photos and winning scores will inspire your cycling adventures and witty articles for the Sou'Wester this year. Remember too that we have a special blog, 'SW London Tours' where you can post your reports and photos for any tour you undertake. And note the targets to aim for if you are at all serious about the keenly fought mileage competitions, and indeed, the attendance competitions.
