Steve Dury ARPS DPAGB – Fast forward to 1642 - An evening of photographs from this exciting creative club member. Not to be missed
|
This Saturday (16 March) is your last chance to enter the Bristol Salon for free. To enter, just follow this link and you will be taken to the Salon section of the BPS website.
Entering is simple, just fill in your name, address, email address and image titles and then upload your images. When you have clicked the submit button you will be taken to a page where you can see details & thumbnails of your entry - check that these are correct and then just exit the system (click on the red cross in the top right of your screen). This page may look a bit ambiguous as its really aimed at entrants who will be paying, so don't go to the PayPal page or pay any fee (as a couple of wealthy members have already done).
If you have any problems feel free to contact me either by email, salon@bristolphoto.org.uk or telephone 07706 868638

The Most Important Lady In The Society
|
|
There’s still time to apply for the position of stand-in tea maker if Gill can’t make it on the odd Wednesday. I was disappointed to see that, so far, just one person has contacted Carol, but if anyone else is willing to help, it’d be appreciated. Of course, full training will be given and will include such things as switching on the water boiler, putting plastic cups into holders and using Beryl’s Spoon to measure out the coffee. Unfortunately, unlike the BPS competitions, certificates of competency will not be awarded.
If you think that this highly valued post is right up your street, please apply in the first instance to Carol at secretary@bristolphoto.org.uk

Following the successful advisory workshops run for the WCPF in 2010 & 2012, there has been great demand for another workshop.
