Next week we get a chance to see prints from the BPS Permanent Collection, which is held at the City Archives. Pete McCloskey will be showing a selection from the collection.
Much of the original Collection was lost during the second World War. Older work was donated post war. Our boxes 1, 2 and 3 which will be shown are older work (there are more than 15 boxes in the collection). What is noticeable is that most work was taken locally, with foreign holidays being a rarity. The Alps were the most popular destination in those days. Work by Trevor Church will also be shown. Trevor was one or the country's outstanding workers in the 1960s and 1970s and he had a distinctive style of work.
Prints for the archive are usually chosen from the Annual Exhibition otherwise they are donated by families of late members.

Chairman's Evening |

The next Digital Imaging Group Meeting will be on Monday 11 August at 7.30pm.
Meetings are informal and take place at the clubrooms and via zoom.
This month we will be sharing the Smartphone Photography module with you, which will form part of the photography Course starting in September. This is a new addition to the course so any feedback / knowledge you have on this subject would be very helpful. I’m hoping that we will all learn something!
This will only take part of the evening, so if you would like to share your images at the August meeting there is still room so please send them to me at mailto:dig@bristolphoto.org.uk by 5.00pm on Friday 8 August. Please number your images in the order you would like them to be viewed and resize to the usual competition size, not essential but helps to keep the files to a manageable size. If you could please restrict the number of images to a maximum of 30 this will ensure that we enjoy a wide variety of subjects
We look forward to seeing you.

This weekend sees the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta at Ashton Court Estate.
The Fiesta is a free to attend, three-day event that celebrates the city and its heritage links to the remarkable world of hot air ballooning.
From Friday 8th to Sunday 10th August, the rolling hills of Ashton Court on the outskirts of the city of Bristol are home to a temporary playground of entertainment, and a stage set ready and waiting for over 100 hot air balloons to take flight.
This iconic event has been a steadfast in the UK’s event calendar for more than four decades. With the city of Bristol playing the best matched host as the birthplace of ballooning in Europe, and now the capital of the sport worldwide.
Over the years, the impact of the event has grown far beyond the initial ambitions of a group of friends in 1979. It is now a Bristol institution, and is a synonymous icon, representing the region around the world.
