Calumet - Camera Club Offers
|
Calumet are launching a range of special deals and discounts aimed specifically at Camera Clubs. These offers will be constantly changing and this month's offers can be downloaded by clicking on this link. In order to qualify for the deals you will need to telephone Anita Schmidt at Calumet's London Office, but don't use the number shown on the leaflet, use this one instead (as I told her BPS members are too mean to use 0870 numbers) - 0207 380 1144. When ringing, quote the fact that you are a member of BPS and also quote Anita's name.
