Wednesday 28 August
Next week gives members the chance to get some fresh air and take a few pictures when we meet at Arnos Vale Cemetery for the annual club outing! We'll meet in the carpark by the main entrance on Bath Road (near RPS) at around 7.00pm and move off as soon as all are there. There might even be a pub visit afterwards!
 
Here are two links that might prove handy:
 
Arnos Vale home page - Discover Arnos Vale
Map of trails within the cemetery - AV_Discovery_trail_map
ZOOM - Needless to say, there will be no Zoom meeting next week.

Trumpet Blowers' Corner
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.
 
 
Marketplace
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.
 
Photographic Acronyms
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.
