Don't forget that we will be presenting this year's Bristol Salon of Photography on Sunday 5 July at the clubrooms (2pm). If you missed the chance to see it when it was first shown at the old clubrooms, or you were so impressed that you want to see it again or if you'd like to bring someone else to see it, then please make a date in your diary. We have invited members of the other Bristol clubs and it would be great if we had a good turn out from our own members so that we can show off our new premises to their best advantage. This is your chance to see the images on a much larger screen and in glorious surround sound and as an added bonus there will be refreshents during the interval.

Following the success of last year’s studio competition, by popular demand, another studio competition will take place at the AGM this year with the task of wrestling the trophy away from Mike Bigger.
The studio competition will be for images taken during any of the studio group meetings that have taken place between 1st June 2013 and 28th April 2015 and not entered in this competition in 2014. Full details and rules can be downloaded here.

We are still looking for members to support the Society when BPS represents the WCPF at the annual PAGB Interclub Projected Image Competition at Warwick on 11 July. It would be great to see a crowd of BPS members at the event to support the club at what is the Country's major interclub event. If you would like to support BPS and get tickets for this event, you can download an application form by following this link.

A certain member who should remain nameless (well, it was Barry M actually!) has suggested that the picture below could be used for a caption competition - there are no prizes other than the kudos of having won. So let's see what all of those wits among you can come up with. I'll start the ball rolling:
That new Olay skin care cream doesn't really seem to have done the trick with Beryl!

We have received the following from Bristol Folk House (thanks to Danny Heaton & Mark Gilbert for sending it to me):
Hi All,
On Friday 10th July, the Bristol Folk House will be opening the doors to their new darkroom facility for a day of demo's and taster sessions. From 10am - 4pm, in half hour blocks, there will be an opportunity to join a session to watch or take part in an activity, or have a look around.
Due to limited space, we are asking people to book a suitable session (I've attached the rota fyi) if you or anyone you know is interested in taking part. This can be done by contacting me, by return email or calling The Folk House reception on: 0117 926 2987
If you simply want to take a look at the facility, you can join the start of any session to take a quick look inside.
Please help us spread the word. If you know anyone who would like access to a darkroom space, is interested in becoming a member or joining a darkroom course, we will be able to give all of this information out on the day. We hope to see and fit in as many people as possible on the day.
Many thanks for your support.
Apologies if you have already received this email.
