Wednesday 18 December - Christmas Social |
Next week, Wednesday, 18 December, is the highlight of the Bristol social calendar - the annual BPS Christmas Social. The Membership Secretary has asked me to publish the following words:
It's that time of year again, when the great and the good convene for chat, food and (probably) a drink or two. No doubt all the 'old hands' will be there, but, if previous years are anything to go by, very few of the newer members will join us.
It does give people a chance to chat for more than the few minutes during the Wednesday coffee breaks, or at the end of a meeting, when the designated 'locker-up' is pointedly looking at the clock. It's also quite good if you want to pick someone's brains or just have a good old gossip.
Why not come along? You may enjoy it and all it will cost you is a single plate of food or the equivalent in nibbles, biscuits etc or drink. Everything is shared, so there's no need to bring a turkey and all the trimmings or a case of champagne.
I promise not to make everyone wear their badges, so do come along if you can.
Needless to say, this meeting will not be available over Zoom.

Last week, in the login details for the Print Competition meeting, I inadvertently put the date of the meeting as 4 December, instead of 11 December - sorry if this caused login problems for any of you when trying to gain access to the meeting. Contrary to the opinion of many of you, I'm only human (God-like status is yet to be officially conferred!), so the odd mistake may creep in.

Salon acceptances: 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.
|
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).
|
IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes |
Please don't forget that if you change your
address (home or email), or gain additional photographic distinctions,
it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know
so that she can keep her records up to date, this will also ensure that
you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk.
The distinctions we have on record are those
shown at the top of this newsletter, please remember, if you don't tell
us we can't possibly know!
DO NOT REPLY TO THE NEWSLETTER. |
For those of you who aren't sure what MPAGB, EFIAP/s and many more such
seemingly random collections of letters mean, just click here to see the list.
