Wednesday 24 August
 
Next week, 24 August, we are being treated to the annual display of the NEMPF Travelling Exhibition. This recorded presentation is one of the best and most professionally put together recorded shows that we get the oPportunity to see. It is a presentation of accepted images in this annual exhibition, with images being submitted by the member clubs within the North & East Midland Photographic Federation and is put together by Jim Hartje with commentary by Ashley Franklin. Ashley's commentaries are usually very informative and always amusing. 
The show will be in two halves, 56 minutes and 52 minutes respectively.

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
