An Invitation from the Focus Group

Last year the RPS and the Focus Group of Photographers conducted a
photographic workshop based in Stoke on Trent - an area rich in visual
potential.  The workshop will run at the end of September 2018.

The aim of the workshop is to provide "food for thought" to attendees who
are looking for a way to raise their photographic work to a higher level.
We do this through a combination of lectures by members of the Focus Group,
visits to sites of high photographic potential in the area and through 1:1
or small group sessions with Focus Group members.

If you are interested but have questions, please get in touch with Janey
Devine - her email address is janeydevine@gmail.com.  To register contact Mo
Connely at doc@rps.org doc@rps.org>.  Note: There is a 10% discount
for early enrolment.

We hope to see you in Stoke.

Opening of our Exhibition

Mount Cutting Workshop from RPS Southern Region

As another year draws to a close we hope you have enjoyed your photography in 2017 and benefited from your RPS membership during that time.

We hope you have been able to attend one of our many events this year – they are a great opportunity to meet some of the photographers in your area and to compare notes over a coffee or lunch and to learn something about our craft that perhaps you would not have picked up from your usual sources. Whether you have made it to an event yet or not, we have plenty planned for next year so look out for a full summary of 2018 events early in January. 

 

One event that may be of interest, but which missed the deadline for the Journal so will not be advertised there, is on the 11th February in Littleton near Winchester.

Longridge, who often attend our events, will be running a Mount Cutting Workshop – if you ever wondered how best to mount your precious photos or how the right mount would improve them, this is the workshop for you. More details here:  http://www.rps.org/events/2018/february/11/longridge-mount-cutting-workshop

And most importantly, on behalf of all of us on the Southern Region organising committee, I would like to wish you the very best of Christmas cheer and a very Happy New Year. And don’t forget to keep an eye on your emails, Facebook, Twitter, The RPS website and the Journal for all the events that we will be organising for 2018.

If you are interested in becoming an RPS volunteer in the Southern Region please contact me or anyone on the organising committee for more information.

Kind Regards
