Important Information
GWPE - Steve will be returning prints to members after the Exhibition in December. If, however, you want to use the prints from the GWPE for MOP let Steve Field or Mike Martin know and they will sort out your print and put in the MOP box, above. Note this only applies to prints not accepted into the GWPE exhibition as MOP is for new un-exhibited works only.

Well done to Mike Martin who, to use a darts analogy, has just scored a "double top" with the Disabled Photographers Society by gaining not one but two Fellowships, which I suppose makes him Mike Martin FDPS2
Mike hedged his bets and submitted two panels, one a monochrome panel featuring people and a second featuring abstract images - looks like they liked both as he was awarded a fellowship for each panel!
You can see both panels in much greater detail by following these links:

Sue O’Connell was delighted to learn she has reached the finals of the Travel Photographer of the Year 2024 again (for the 9th year) with an image in the "Cities, Towns, Streets" category this time.

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.
