It was great to welcome our affiliated club members back to Ditton Community Centre, for the KCPA Ross Cup 2024 competition. The KCPA opened our doors at 1 and let in nearly 90 visitors who came to view all the images that had been entered.

The day started with our audience members looking around the prints that were on the display boards.
