The following is from the External Competitions Secretary, Mike Martin:
Massive drum-roll........... BRISTOL came THIRD!!!! In the Nature Prints, (sadly behind Rolls Royce and Dorchester) and 8th in the Open.
In the open category we were initially joint 6th after the initial 12 images were totalled up, but after expanding to the top 16, sadly we dropped to 8th overall.
Still a fantastic result, one we should all be proud of especially as I don’t believe we’ve entered the print competitions previously J.
For those interested in the entire rankings, details are attached.

Anyone interested in seeing a selection of the awarded images these are on-line in the following virtual galleries created by Adrian Lines. I did try looking at these but suffered from motion sickness! Barry, you were asking who the judges were – It will name them against the awards I believe, though I didn’t see a name against yours as the Chairman’s selection.
Well done to Mary Pears on being awarded a Certificate in the Nature Section for her image Brown Hares Boxing and Barry Mead for a Judge's Choice award in the Open Section for his image Valentine's Day.
A big thank you to Mike Martin for all his hard work organising our entry.

Salon acceptances: BPS photographers are now achieving large numbers of salon acceptances and constraints on time and space mean we can't include them all. So please only advise of awards or other milestones.
Contrary to popular belief, I do not possess psychic powers and need you to tell me if you've had successes. If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.

Make Money For BPS Every Time You Shop On Amazon! |
Now we're all still in lockdown, the thought of on-line shopping must be looming large in many members' minds. It's worth remembering that if you so wish, each and every one of you can support BPS with every purchase you make on Amazon by using Amazon Smile. Click on the link below – then it’s self-explanatory.
Shopping using Smile is no different to your normal Amazon shopping and costs you nothing, it's just that you need to tell it that you wish to use Smile and then we get some pennies!

If you have any photographic items for sale, drop me a line and I'll include it in the next newsletter. Please make sure that you provide contact details, price and full description of the sale items (pictures always help).
