Next Wednesday's speaker is Lyn James LRPS from Wales, who will be presenting his print talk titled Distant Lands. Sorry, but however much I trawl the web, I can't find anything about Lyn and his talk.

Don't forget, closing date for Round 4 of the Print Competition has been put back to 9 April. Queries, as usual, to David Southwell - david@vizion2000.net

Gordon Stirrat has asked me to put in a link to this summer's sailing times to Steep Holme in the Bristol Channel; so if you fancy a trip on the high seas to foreign climes, just click in this link for more details. Gordon did suggest that club members might like to get together to organise a "club outing" to the island; if you're, interested let me know (newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk) and I'll see about finding someone to organise it.

This will be the 4^th year that the competition has run, and the Society hopes that this year’s theme – Home, habitat and shelter – will encourage people to think creatively about the unique ways animals, plants and organisms exploit their environment in order to survive. Photographs could focus on biological research – exploring why and how organisms survive in different environments. Or it could simply capture the beauty of an animal in its natural environment: a lion prowling the savannah or an orca whale content within the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. There are two categories for entering, each with a cash prize: The 2014 competition is sponsored by life science company Eppendorf. Judging for the competition will take place in September and the winners will be announced at the Society’s annual award ceremony in October during Biology Week 2014.
