Subscription charges proposal
From September 2008 it is proposed that we hold weekly meetings with no increase in the annual subscription for the forthcoming year. This will enable us to incorporate the Natural History interest together with the Digital Imaging and Forum evenings within the main programme. There will be new events and innovations to the existing programme to further stimulate and encourage member participation.
The Distinctions and Exhibition Sub Group will continue in its present format enabling us to give one to one help and encouragement to those members actively seeking a distinction with the Royal Photographic Society and/or Photographic Alliance of Great Britain and to help and encourage members to submit to National and International Exhibitions.
