Photowalk exhibition & judging night
We’re pleased to announce that the entries for the Photowalk will be on display at Wobblybridge Gallery from Tuesday 15th February until Saturday 19th February. Judging will take place on Wednesday 16th February from 7pm until 8.30pm.
Everyone who attends the judging evening can cast a single vote for a photo in each of the following categories. You must attend the evening to vote. The evening is free and open to all ~ as indeed is the exhibition.
The categories are:
1. Best shot from brief one
2. Best shot from brief two
3. Best shot from brief three
4. Best ‘series’ ~ a complete set of all three images, one for each brief
5. Best overall photograph/image (judged from all three briefs).
Each photograph will be displayed with its brief to assist with the judging.
In addition to the above five categories, a judging panel from Redbox, Wobblybridge and Hop House Design will make awards for:
6. Best photograph shot using film (judged from all three briefs)
5. Best image shot using a mobile phone (judged from all three briefs)
6. Best example of digital manipulation (judged from all three briefs).
The organisers will be providing wIne and soft drinks on the evening of the 16th ~ but everyone who attends is being asked to contribute to the evening by bringing a bottle.
On Wednesday the 2nd of March, we’re being given an opportunity to sample some of Taywell’s latest (and most adventurous!) ice cream creations ~ BEFORE they’re unleashed on an unsuspecting public. Alastair Jessel of Taywell Ice Creams is going to personally host a special Twuddle tasting evening at his Paddock Wood HQ ~ and give us a tour of his production unit. Dare you miss this fantastic opportunity?
Numbers are limited ~ we can only take 15 people at a time on the tour ~ so we’ve decided to have two tours, one at 6:30pm and a second at 7:30pm. Please leave a comment below if you wish to attend, stating your preferred time.
One last thing, the ice cream Alastair is going to present to us will be rather special ~ several flavours with, ahem, an ‘alcoholic’ flavour! Taywell Ice Creams will be entering these new flavours in the 2011 Great Taste Awards (www.greattasteawards.co.uk) and Alastair would love our opinion on them… so don’t hold back! Although it’s a pretty fair bet they’re gonna be fab eh?
Quick reminder that the re-scheduled Twuddle Curling Night is on January 26th. The venue is the same ~ Fenton’s Rink near Pembury ~ the first and only curling rink in England!
Cost stays the same, at £18 per person. If you wish to take part, please leave a comment below (with your email and/or contact phone number). Numbers are limited but we have some places still available. We also have the option to increase the number of lanes we have pre-booked if numbers increase greatly. Would be fantastic if we could take over the whole rink!
Fenton’s’ are providing all you need, including equipment, shoes and instruction. And for those that have asked, yes, the rink has a fully licensed bar!

We now have a list of nominations for the Twuddle Awards night at Sankeys on Tuesday 11th January. If you wish to add to anyone to this list, please leave a comment below. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your nominations private (as many of you do!), then please send us an email at nominations@twuttle.com instead.
Nominations will close this coming Friday at midnight. Any new additions we receive before then will be added to the list. You then have until next Tuesday to consider who to vote for. You can only vote on the night ~ postal, email, virtual or proxy votes are not accepted!
See you at Sankeys for what proves to be an interesting night!
