As you will have heard if you were at last Wednesday's meeting, building work was due to start this week on the new clubrooms. This did happen and on Thursday morning two skips appeared outside the building and demolition work inside began; this will create the open space that will become our new home. Below are a few images that show progress so far: |

The main meeting area with doors and internal windows removed, ready for the walls to be demolished to make one large meeting room. The ceiling is also due to come down to be replaced by a new one that will be much higher (11ft) |
The date for the club's annual pilgrimage to the Woodford point to point races is Saturday 25 April. |
The WCPF 2015 Members' Exhibition is to be held at Buckfast Abbey from 2nd to 17th May. More details can be found by following this link or visiting the WCPF website. |
Exhibition to Visit: M-Shed
|
There is a new exhibition at M-Shed called Open for Business which is open until 21 June. Open for Business is the story of contemporary British
manufacturing and industry told through the lens of nine internationally
renowned documentary photographers. For full details, and details of other events at M-Shed, please click here. |
Last week I mentioned Val Duncan's success in the Avon Valley International Exhibition. Other BPS members also did well including Patsy Southwell who had 4 acceptances, Andrew Wood 1, Greg Duncan 7, Sue O'Connell 3, Derwood Pamphilon 3, Peter Brisley 5 and Beryl Heaton 1.
Greg Duncan has just been awarded his BPE 3* - well done, at this rate you'll be catching the missus up soon!
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. |
Items will remain in this section for one month from the date of insertion or until notification of sale, whichever is the sooner.
Please let the newsletter editor know if/when any of the items listed are sold.
|
If you have something photographic that you want to sell, let me have the details and I will 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
