We kick off the 2025-26 BPS programme with the, now traditional, Chairman's Evening which is being presented by our recently enthroned chairman, Jeff Hargreaves EFIAP DPAGB LRPS.
Jeff's talk, Travels to Many Places, will look at some of the many places Jeff has visited in recent years:

One of the most recent photo trips was to Oman with 3 other club members, where there were many different places and subjects to photograph. However, tonight will concentrate on the empty quarter, desert and camels

Ukraine
A look back at three days in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, with the history of the major nuclear accident.
Also, a look at Kiev in happier times at its beauty and long tradition.
Turkey
A workshop to Istanbul, a fashion shoot in the museum of archaeology, a food shoot in a large restaurant and night club.
Portugal
The surfers of Nazare north of Lisbon, the beach, surfers taking on the giant waves.
