Next week we have a change from the published programme, we were due to be seeing the London Salon; instead we will be treated to one of the recorded CDs from NEMPF (North & East Midlands Photographic Federation) showing images from a recent NEMPF Exhibition, narrated as usual by the extremely professional Ashley Franklin - always an entertaining evening. 

Would all holders of cups (awarded last year) please return them within the next two weeks. This to allow time for engraving before presentation at the AGM.

Please hand them to Keith Wood.

Dates For Your Diary

1 & 2 July	Cotswold Show and Food Festival at Cirencester Park. Full details can be found on the official website.
24-25 June 1-2 July	SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY - KIDDERMINSTER. Step Back to the 1940s for these special weekends. They are wonderful for photographers as everyone dresses in 1940s clothes and they are only too pleased to let you photograph them. There are special events at all the stations up and down the line and lots of music and many look alikes, Churchill, Montgomery etc.. You can spend all day riding up and down the Severn Valley line on beautifully restored steam trains and the prices this year are:- Adults £27.50 Seniors £26.00. If you pre-book it's cheaper, Adults £24.70 Seniors £23.70 and it's worth every penny. Follow this link for more information.
Sept onwards	Clifton Cameras & Swarovski are holding a nature walk at Frampton on Severn and digiscoping classes in the Forest of Dean during September. You can find details of these and other events organised by Clifton Cameras by visiting their website - click here. Thanks to Mark Gilbert for this.
23 Sept	RPS Digital Imaging Group is holding a special event - DI Expo 2017 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport (near the NEC) from 9am to 5pm on Saturday 23 September. This event is open to all, but you will need to book a ticket. For full information and tickets, please visit their website.
11 Nov	Devizes Camera Club is holding An Evening With Charlie Waite. Charlie is one of the world's leading landscape photographers. The event is at Wiltshire Music Centre at Bradford on Avon. Full details can be found by following this link. I'm told that tickets are selling fast, so you are advised to book now if you are interested.

 

ITS NOT PARTICULARLY EASY FINDING "DATES FOR YOUR DIARY", SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF MEMBERS COULD LET ME KNOW OF ANY EVENTS, EXHIBITIONS OR PICTURE LOCATIONS THAT THEY THINK WOULD BE OF INTEREST. DATES AND WEB LINKS WOULD HELP.

Beryl Heaton was awarded a FIAP Gold Medal in the Travel Section of the 3rd Double Half Photo Festival 2017 - well done.
