Photography Course - STILL A FEW PLACES LEFT!
|
For any members who feel that they could benefit from a bit of formal photographic training, BPS runs it's own course from September through to November. There are still a few places left on this year's course so if you're interested please contact the course organisers ( Derek Ripper & Helen Morgan) by email at photocourse@bristolphoto.org.uk or visit the course web page by clicking here. |
Not having been at club for the last few weeks, I've lost touch with what's going on; this has resulted in the newsletters being a little sparse. I desparately need news items and pictures from you lot to help me fill up this august publication. If you have anything, words or pictures, please send them to me at the usual address: newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk |
