Hello Firstname
 
Barry Mead
Following Neil's announcement at last Wednesday's meeting, many of you will be aware that Barry is none too well at present. Barry has asked me to pass on (through the medium of the popular press) his thanks for the kind thoughts and cards he and Ann have received - they are much appreciated.
 
Wednesday 27 March
Wednesday is the final round of the Projected Image Competition when the final winner of this year's season of competitions will be revealed.
 
102nd London Salon 2013
For those of you interested in entering prestigious exhibitions, The London Salon is inviting entries from photographers. The Salon is a unique photographic institution and acceptances into its exhibitions are a career highlight for many photographers.  
The closing date for on line entry is 14 April and all prints and manual entries must be received by 24 April. Full details on the Salon and how to enter can be found on their website: www.londonsalon.org
 
British Wildlife Photography Award
BWPA is now open for entries, full details can be found on their website www.bwpawards.org. This is an exhibition that might be worth having a go at as there are loads of awards & prizes (both money & equipment) to be had.

Short issue this week
I'm somewhat preoccupied with booking in Salon entries this week (closing date today) which might explain its late arrival in your inbox as well as its lack of content; hopefully normal service will be resumed next week. In the meantime, if you have anything you think might make interesting newsletter fodder, please send it to me and I will include it in the next issue (email newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk)
