Last weekend, Norman and Calvin represented the club at the PAGB Inter Club Print Championships in Blackburn where we won the Plate Competition. Norman sent out an email this afternoon with the full results.
If you're unfamiliar with the competition, there are 2 rounds. There were 37 clubs entering this year. After the first round, the top 9 clubs enter for the Final, and the remaining 28 compete for the Plate. As Wrekin Arts won the Plate we are automatically through to next year’s Print Championships.
This was a tough competition with some of the best clubs in the Country competing. To win the Plate is a tremendous achievement. Well done to all those involved.
