VIDEO COMPETITION
There were two entries in the 2024 competition. HOS members attending the Leeds meeting voted for their favourite video by a secret ballot. The winner was Steve Pickersgill’s video of ‘A Day at Lapanouse in the Averyron’. Congratulations to Steve and thank you to both entrants and everyone who voted. All the video entries from 2017 to date are now available in the Members' Area of the website. CLICK HERE to go to the videos.
