Distinctions Advisory Meeting
 
The next Distinctions Advisory Workshop will take place at Unit 13 on Monday, 26 June, starting at 19:30. The advice will be given by Pete McCloskey FRPS, Andrew Marker FRPS and Ralph Snook ARPS.
 
This workshop will be aimed at prints only and is mainly for members thinking of an RPS distinction. However, although the evening will be aimed at RPS distinctions, any advice will clearly be useful if you are thinking of submitting for a PAGB Distinction.
 
Future workshops will vary in content, including specific advice on PAGB Distinctions and digital submissions.
 
If you are interested in this workshop, please get in touch making sure that you include all three of the following:
 
Programme Secretary
There has recently been a change of leadership in the "programme department". After a stint at the helm for several years, Steve Field has stepped back from the role of Programme Secretary and has handed the reins over to Jay Hallsworth.
 
Thanks should go to Steve for producing such an interesting and varied programme over the last few years, especially as he was thrown the curved ball of covid, meaning that programme plans that had already been put in place had to be ditched when we found ourselves in the uncharted waters of Zoom. At what was obviously pretty short notice, he was able to come up with a fresh programme which kept us going through such rotten times.
 
Jay has some fairly big shoes to fill, but I'm sure that he will prove to be equally as capable as his predecessor, so I'm sure that we can look forward to an excellent programme in the future.  
 
John Long
We have received the following email regarding the KPS tribute to John Long:

Midland Salon of International Photography
Closing date: 1 July
 
Trumpet Blowers' Corner
Salon acceptances: 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.
 
 
Market Place
If you have any photographic items for sale, drop me a line and I'll include it in the next newsletter. Please make sure that you provide contact details, price and full description of the sale items (pictures always help).
 
IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes
Please don't forget that if you change your address (home or email), 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, this will also ensure that you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk. 
 
The distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, please remember, if you don't tell us we can't possibly know!
 
DO NOT REPLY TO THE NEWSLETTER.
 
 
Photographic Acronyms
