As some of you may have twigged, I listed the wrong judge for the Annual Print Competition last week, the judge won't be Paul Keene (he's doing the Annual Projected Image), it will be Rosemary Wilman FRPS AFIAP BPE5* |
There are still a few places left on the next Studio Group event on Thursday 26 May.
The event will feature model Holly who is returning for this portrait session. The maximum number of photographers will be 5 per session. If there is sufficient demand there will be 2 sessions, 4.00pm to 6.00pm and 7.00pm to 9.00pm. It will help Nick if you can indicate which session will suit you best and Nick will do his best to accommodate you. The cost will be £15 for one session (any surplus will go to the studio equipment fund). This session is suitable for beginners to studio work and guidance will be available.
Please sign up using this link. When you sign up could you add a comment to the poll with your email and phone number so you can be contacted by Nick if the event is cancelled or postponed - this is highlighted because in the past people have not been doing this. |
In addition to the usual venue in Devon, the 2016 WCPF Members' Exhibition will be held this year at the BPS Clubrooms over the weekend of Saturday 21 May and Sunday 22 May. Opening times will be 10:00 – 16:30 on both days. |

We have received the following:
Hello
I hope
this is of interest to your members:
We are
now at the count down to this year’s Dig for Victory Show to be held on 11-12 June. This is the third year that this 1940’s themed
family festival has been running at the North Somerset Showground, just outside
Bristol. We have a fabulous line up of entertainment and exhibits for 2016
including a Spitfire & Hurricane Flypast on both days of the
Show.
Come and experience
living in the 1940s, with re-enactors demonstrating what life was like in
wartime Britain, an exhibition of over 200 original restored wartime vehicles,
veterans sharing their stories, traditional craft demonstrations, locally-grown
produce stalls, vintage clothing, farmyard animals, a children's trail and much
more! There is entertainment all day in the Victory
Marquee with music and dancing from the 1940’s including live bands, singers and
the Military Wives Choir, plus a bar, tea tent and selection of caterers. There
is also a dance on the Saturday night with music and dancing from the
1940’s.
The
Dig for Victory Show is a not for profit event run entirely by local volunteers.
Our aim is to provide our local community with an affordable, family orientated
weekend event to bring history alive and the generations together to
learn, remember and have fun. Our chosen charities and beneficiaries for 2016
are Walking with the Wounded and Weston Hospicecare. We are thrilled to have
raised over £8,500 for our charities over the past two
years.
We
hope your members would to like to come our show. Not only would you have a great
day, but there will be wonderful opportunities to take interesting and unusual
photographs. Please visit our website www.digforvictoryshow.com where
you will find more information about the event and can also buy online tickets
at a discount if you buy early.
Kind
regards

Sue O'Connell has just gained her BPE4* distinction - where will this lady's talents end?
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.
|
Please don't forget that if you change your address or gain additional photographic distinctions it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know so that she can keep her records up to date - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.ukThe distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, if they are wrong, please let Carol know. |
For those of you who aren't sure what MPAGB, EFIAP/s and many more such seemingly random collections of letters mean, just click here to download the list. |
