Hello Firstname
 
Wednesday 11 December
Next Wednesday we have the 2nd Round of the Print Competition. This was due to be judged by Peter Cheetham who, through family illness, has had to withdraw and we are indebted to Peter Weaver for stepping in at the last minute. Peter's style of judging is very benevolent but at the same time constructively critical, so a worthy replacement.

DI Group
The monthly get together of the DI Group takes place next Monday, 9 December. As usual all are welcome, please bring along pictures for discussion or just to show off. Pictures either as prints or projected images (as jpegs on USB memory sticks only please).

Christmas
Next week's edition of the Newsletter will be the last before the New Year, so if you have anything you wish to have printed in the final edition of 2013, please send it to me before next Thursday.

Past Chairman Reveals His Dark Secret
Past BPS Chairman, Danny Heaton finally admits to a medical condition he has been hiding for some time, he's a cyclops! His secret was revealed before last week's talk by pinhole specialist Justin Quinnell and almost stole the show. BPS Paparazzi photographer, Nick Ayers, was on hand to record the moment that Danny "came out"
