Angela is Member of Cheltenham Camera Club, Cotswold Monochrome Club and Tewkesbury YMCA Movie Makers. She gained her AFIAP 2018.

Digital Imaging Group
Next Monday, 12 October, you are invited to join the monthly meeting of the Digital Imaging Group and as usual all members of BPS are welcome to join the zoom meeting, especially if you have some of your images to show as well. We have had some very exciting speakers recently and I am sure many of you will have been inspired to produce your own images.
Please send your images to me by Sunday 11 October, 6 pm. As usual the images should be in JPG format, sRGB colour space and keep the size to 1600 X 1200 pixels (same as competitions). The size limit is not strict but allows me to receive the attachments within the 20 Mb limit per email. You may prefix your images by 01, 02, 03 etc. if you wish to show them in that order.

PSA Anniversary
As many of you will know, BPS has been affiliated to the PSA (Photographic Society of America) for a number of years, mainly so that we can use their facilities, and more importantly, official recognition of the Salon. I knew that we had been a member for a considerable time because my father had instigated our membership of the PSA when I was but a child (well, almost), but I was pleasantly surprised to see this certificate drop through my letter box this week.
