Distinctions Advisory Group
The next meeting of the Distinctions Advisory Group is at 7.30pm on Monday 28 September. 
 
The group basically meets to offer advice to members who are aiming for, or planning to aim for, RPS, WPF, IPF or PAGB distinctions, but anyone aiming for a photographic distinction is welcome.
 
If you are already well on the way down your chosen path or just thinking about dipping your toe in the murky waters of photo distinctions, you will be welcome. Bring along your pictures (PDI or prints) and you can receive suggestions and advice about your next step forward or just come along for general distinctions advice.
 
Any queries to Pete McCloskey at pmcloskey11@gmail.com.
 
 
 
IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes
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, please remember, if you don't tell us we can't possibly know!
