         Our exhibition (continued)

         The highest number of clubs that used to participate in the
         Interclub competition was twelve — sixteen of the seven-
         teen adult clubs in the region participated in the exhibition.
         In addition, five school clubs entered prints. This is the most
         photographic clubs in the region that have ever collaborated
         in an event.
         When it became evident that this was going to be a mass-
         participation event, we had to limit the number of images
         submitted  by each club so that they could be accommo-
         dated on the available wall space. They could only select
         one print per member to give as many members as possible   An image by Jeanette
         a chance to participate. The five school clubs — including a   du Toit was used

         ages from their top workers, which are displayed together in   information book-
