Next week is the annual Keith Hewitt Lecture. This year the speaker will be Helen Mugridge ARPS who will be presenting her talk Bird Photography at Home and Abroad. You can see more of Helen's work by visiting her website. This is one of the major events in the Society's programme so a good turn-out would look good. |

BPS Newsletter Is Taking A Break

A Message From The Membership Secretary
|
As I’m going to miss five Wednesdays, could I ask members to keep an eye open for people who wander in looking a bit lost and uncertain? Mary Pears is going to look after any prospective new members and any visitors (relieving them of the necessary £3 at the same time) for the first week, while Mike Bigger will be taking over for the remaining four evenings. If you could point them in the direction of Mary or Mike, it’d be much appreciated. Don’t worry about asking someone if they are new, only to discover they’ve been a member for some time – on more than one occasion I’ve asked visiting speakers if they are ‘new faces’.

Last week I mentioned some successes by BPS members in UK internationals - I was firmly rebuked by Beryl Heaton for having omitted to mention her success in the Swansea International where she gained an HC - consider my wrist slapped!

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. |
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
