Next Wednesday we are being treated to Travels towards the
Edge with club members Sue O'Connell and Peter Brisley: An evening of projected images
and prints focusing on some less frequented destinations. Highlights include a
World Heritage site deep in the Libyan Sahara, a seaside resort full of ghosts
in Cambodia, and a couple of active volcanoes in Java!
I asked Sue for a couple of images to whet your appetite for the evening, below is what appeared in my "in box" (I sense Peter's hand in this choice!):

Last Wednesday Barry Mead was presented with the Award For Meritorious Service - APAGB.
This Award was instituted in 1984 to be national recognition of individual club members who have given meritorious service over many years within the PAGB community of member Federations and affiliated Clubs. Barry has been a national and international judge for many years, been long established on the club speaker circuit and has been a stalwart of the RPS. Barry joins a small list of photographers nationally (on average, less than 20 awarded per year), including Jim Marsden, Margaret Collis and Pete McCloskey from BPS. |

I know that is considered somewhat indelicate to give a lady's age away, but I'm sure Margaret Collis won't mind us all wishing her a Happy Birthday this weekend. I won't say how young she is, but it's somewhere between 79 and 81 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Arena Photographers at Sidcot School. I mentioned this exhibition before, but as it's on until 13 December I felt it worth repeating. Some members have already visited it and report back that it is more than worth a visit. For full details of times etc., please check the Sidcot website.

My apologies for the censor's pen, but I am acutely aware that some members are somewhat sensitive about this type of image being aired before the watershed. If you are, however, of a more salacious disposition, you can see the unexpurgated image by following this link.
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. |
|
Items will remain in this section for one month from the date of insertion or until notification of sale, whichever is the sooner.
|
If you have something photographic that you want to sell, let me have the details and I will circulate them to a captive audience of photographers through the Newsletter - send to the usual address.
|
If you have anything you think other members would like to know about, such as exhibitions, special events etc. please let me know at newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk
