Brian Most = A Retrospective

Brian Most  16th August 1930 – 13th January 2010
A Retrospective

Friday 9th April 2010 7-8.30 pm

Park Community School, Middle Park Way, Havant, PO9 4BU
We can have a drink and a gossip, look at and discuss his pictures – or ignore them – then, if anyone wants to take one home they can make a small donation to Brian’s favourite cancer research charity – and help to beat this ghastly disease!

Re Print Boxes

Just a Reminder
I would be grateful if you would bring the following to your members attention. This information can also be found on the SPF Website - www.southernfed.org.uk
My Tel No. 01420 88743 or Email - jeneric@pearben.wanadoo.co.uk or perhaps you would forward this email to any of your members who express an interest. - Very many thanks, Jennie Pearson
All Club Members

The closing date for the next order for PRINT BOXES is SATURDAY, 27th MARCH 2010.

I expect that the boxes will be available for collection at the Club Reps meeting in May or possibly at Finals Day on 18th April.

You will not be surprised to see that the price has risen. However, Nomad has rationalized the pricing to some extent by removing the differential between similar sizes, e.g. 2½” depth and 3” depth cost the same. I would also like to point out that Nomad do give a discount on quantity. Obviously this cannot be reflected in the price of individual boxes but any ‘profit’ is paid to the SPF, thus helping to keep Federation costs down.

SIZE                COST

21" x 17" x 1 5/8" £21.50
21" x 17" x 2" £21.50
21" x 17" x 2.5" £22.00
21" x 17" x 3" £22.00
21" x 17" x 3.5" £22.50
21” x 17” x 4” £22.50
21" x 17" x 5" £23.00
21" x 17" x 6" £23.50

Handles can be supplied at an additional cost of £3.00.
Orders in writing and with cheques payable to J. PEARSON
to Mrs. Jennie Pearson,6, Inhams Road, Holybourne, ALTON, Hants. GU34 4EU.
BEFORE SATURDAY, 27th MARCH 2010.

PAGB E-News No. 25

Hi All
Welcome to Issue 25 of e-news which is only worth opening if you are interested in copyright matters when making AV shows.

There has been quite a bit of "blog" activity concerning the Digital Economy Bill now before parliament and I also attach a recent statement by the Royal Photographic Society which may alleviate concerns. The RPS have been swiftly proactive in this regard and seem to have done a good job on behalf of amateur photographers.
