Tomorrow, 26 April is the date for the annual BPS pilgrimage to the Woodford Point to Point races. The event, as its name suggests, is held at Woodford which is 15 miles north of Bristol on the A38 and has provided a good opportunity for members to photograph this type of event for the past few years. There are no fences to separate the public from the horses so you can get really close to the action. For further details, please follow this link.
