Harry Pitts Trophy – Results

We are very proud of our members Claire Marshall and Junior member Thomas Schofield who both collected silverware at the YPU Assembly.
Claire won the monochrome cup for her print "Lancaster Bomber, Night Mission" and Thomas won the plate for Digital Young Photographer for his picture of Graham Smith's granddaughter called "Blonde".
Sadly, due to exam revision, Thomas couldn't be there to pick up his award so some random woman went and got it for him!
Very well done both of you! ... See more

Last week we enjoyed another inspiring talk by Dr Sanjay Gupta, who didn't want any fee for his talk but instead we agreed a donation to his favourite charity, the David Sheldrake Trust......

Luggard has overcome so much since we rescued him in March 2016, after his femur was shattered by a bullet and a second bullet penetrated his left foot.

Thanks to our intensive veterinary care and his warrior’s spirit, he’s made good progress but he’s not out of the woods yet and his leg has yet to fully recover. Despite this, Luggard is hugely energetic – he loves mud baths and wallows at length like a hippo unaided!

We can only provide this high level of care thanks to donations from our supporters. If you would like to support our efforts to bring Luggard back to full health, you can at: thedswt.org/donate ... See more
