PAGB News No. 72

Hi All

Please click on this link to see Issue 72 which has News from Warwick,  the complete list of FIAP Distinction recipients from the 2012 PAGB Application  and results and winning photos from the Inter-Federation Print competition.

We are a little concerned that e-news is proving to be more frequent than we intended but if we are to publish lots of photos - which we think is what you mostly want to see - then we cannot let them get too big.  We will aim for a minimum of 2-3 weeks between issues.

This issue is already bigger than we would like at 2MB and may take a little time to download.  Please be patient - sometimes it looks like the link isn't working but e-news is downloading in the background without your system telling you.

Your comments on frequency are very welcome.

Dave Coates, our FIAP Officer, has asked me to include this note.

"I would like to convey my sincere thanks for all the kind and generous emails of thanks I have received following the completion of the 2012 submission.  Yes, there was a large amount of work, but the sentiments expressed go a long way to making it all worthwhile.  I haven't had chance to answer each and every one individually but I am grateful for your support.  Thank you."

Best wishes,   Dave

Photo exhibition in Salisbury

We have a photo exhibition in Salisbury library - it's a selection from the collection of Richard Dawkins (that's Dawkins the photographer, NOT Dawkins the science writer). He worked with all sorts of people including Bailey and Lichfield and started collecting their work a long time ago. This exhibition has all sorts of interesting stuff. I had never heard of photographer John Cowan but there is some lovely work of his in the show so I'm going to go digging for more.

It's at Salisbury public library in the city centre, open during library hours and runs until the 28th. July. Admission is free. Library website: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/artsheri...libcode=SALLIB .

PAGB News No. 70

Hi All
Please click on this link to see Issue 70 of e-news from the PAGB which is an obituary special for John Wells - a very busy and popular lecturer whose company a great many of you will have enjoyed.
It is unusual to run such a special but I received so many comments from John's friends that I thought it appropriate in this case.
http://www.pagbnews.co.uk/e-news/en70050712JohnWells.pdf
We have also been saddened to hear of the passing of Tom Fearn on Sunday June 17th June.  Tom was a past president of the NCPF and, some years ago, a member of the PAGB Executive.  We will publish more in a future e-news.
