In issue 343 the newsletter carried an item about Steve Field and his success in the 2019 EISA Maestro competition. This showed Steve as having won the UK round of this international competition. Things have now moved on and he is now in the fight for the overall international title. To win this he needs your support, so please follow this link VOTE FOR STEVE and place your vote. A warning, the page you are taken to may be a bit slow to appear, so please be patient. So far 20 members have cast a vote, as a club we need to support our members in positions like this, it really does boost the name of not just Steve but also the club - so come on, support Steve and get those votes in!

Last week I asked if you could spread the word about the photography course, both by word of mouth and by social media. Below is a picture advertising the course which you might like to download by clicking on the picture and include in your Facebook (other social media sites are available) page. Alternatively you could download and print the poster and display it in places local to you.
Please remember, that the low cost of your BPS subscription can only remain that way for as long as we continue to get a good attendance (and therefore income) on the course. We would ask, therefore, that as many members as possible help to publicise the course. |
Canon 5D mk iv - excellent condition, as always in the silicone cover, which comes with it - £1,650 ono
Canon 100-400mm mk 2 L IS lens - superb, but only used once! (due to change of camera) - £1,850 ono
Canon Flashguns, remote controls cable and electronic, ring and discuss.

Salon acceptances: BPS photographers are now achieving large numbers of salon acceptances and constraints on time and space mean we can't include them all. So please only advise of awards or other milestones.
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.

Would all members please note: before you plan your shoot and book your model, you should check whether the studio/clubroom will be free. This can be done easily and at any time by viewing the Clubroom Bookings calendar in the Members' Area of the BPS Website. Bookings can must be made by contacting Mike Bigger at bookings@bristolphoto.org.uk.
Log in details to the Members' Area are at the end of this newsletter.

Please don't forget that if you change your address (home or email), or gain additional photographic distinctions, it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know so that she can keep her records up to date, this will also ensure that you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk
The distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, if they are wrong, please let Carol know.
