This Wednesday marks the start of the new 2013/2014 Programme which has been put together by Mike Bews. If you have either looked at it in your Handbook or on the club website, you will see that yet again Mike has excelled himself and put together a wonderful and varied programme with something to satisfy everyone. As is traditional at BPS, the season kicks off with a presentation by our Chairman, Neil McCoubrey, who has sent me the following few words as a tempter to get you there:
Next Wednesday sees the start of another BPS year and, apparently, it is my privilege to present the opening talk. I won't forget, as Carol & Millie have been reminding (nagging) me all summer and I hope that you'll be there too! It isn't going to be quite the usual Chairman's talk but you'll just have to come along to find out why.
Neil

Projected Image Competition
|
|
Last week, 4th Sept was quoted as the closing date for the first round of the Projected Image Competition. As the sharper eyed among you have already noticed, this doesn't agree with the date of the 11th that is quoted in the new Handbook - the correct date is the 11th (don't blame me, I'm only the messenger!). However, as there are only 2 weeks between the official closing date and the competition itself, Jeff would appreciate you getting your entries in as soon as possible so that he can do all the work that is necessary before he sends everything off to the judge.

Following the short closure of the clubrooms for redecoration, I'm pleased to report that everything is now complete and that all facilities are once again available for members.
|
The 2013-2014 BPS Handbook is now available and will be distributed to members at regular Wednesday meetings over the next few weeks. For those who haven't yet received their copy, the programme is now on the BPS Website, please click here. |
Bristol Kite Festival: Bristol is one of Europe’s largest kite events with giant 3-D creatures, action-packed aerial battles, breathtaking synchronised stunt routines, awesome power kites and amazing ground-based air creations. The 2013 festival will be held over the weekend of Saturday 31 August & Sunday 1 September in Ashton Court Estate, Bristol. This year they are delighted to have the World's Largest Kite with the Al Farsi team from Kuwait and a fantastic array of guests from all over the World! Full details on their website http://www.kite-festival.org.uk/.
The Taylor Wessing Photographic Exhibition is still on at M Shed on Princes Wharf. If you haven't already seen it, it's well worth a visit and will be on until 3 November. For more details, please click here.
31August - Prescott Hill Climb, British & Midland Championship weekend. Full details here
7 September - Why not combine a nice drive to the Cotswolds with a visit to Moreton-in-Marsh Agricultural & Horse Show. This one day event is one of the largest events of its type in the Country. Visit their website at www.moretonshow.co.uk

If you want to blow your own trumpet or, dare I say such a thing, blow someone else's trumpet for them, then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include it in the next issue.
|
If you have something photographic that you want to sell, why not let me have details and I can circulate them to a captive audience of photographers through the Newsletter - send to the usual address.
|
If you have anything you think other members would like to know about, such as exhibitions, special events etc. please let me know at newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk
