After 40 years based in the heart of Bristol’s Clifton area, Bristol Photographic Society had outgrown its premises and was looking for a new venue. The search culminated with the purchase of a new property, which, after extensive building works, now offers top-end photographic and presentation facilities. Bristol PS’s new home boasts a Bowens HiGlide studio system, enough room for an exhibition of around 150 prints and full conference facilities. The societymeets there weekly throughout the year, and from September its annual photography course will be run there. Other photographic organisations can also hire the facilities. The annual photography course is open to members and non- members alike and offers guidance for those just starting out as well as those seeking to broaden their photographic horizons. Email the organiser at bps.ptc@gmail.com to find out if there are still spaces. One of the oldest photographic societies in the country, Bristol PS organises the Bristol Salon of Photography, now in its 70th year. Each year the salon receives over 12,000 images and those accepted into this internationally acclaimed exhibition go on show in Bristol and other South West venues. Check the website for details of the 2016 salon.

Potters Bar out & about
During the short summer break, Potters Bar & District Photographic Society members met for two outings. The first toStAlbansAbbey for an evening shoot, only to find the abbey covered in scaffolding (luckily they found a pub); the second to Lee Valley White Water Centre, where the Olympic 2012 kayaking events took place. This outing was more successful, even if it was raining; the photographers got wetter than the water sports participants.
The society’s season starts again on Monday 14 September. Possibly the highlight in the run-up to Christmas is a talk by Bill Coster on 16 November. One of the UK’s best wildlife photographers, Bill will be giving the Dennis Andrews Lecture, talking about the Pacific Northwest. Potters Bar & District PS meets weekly, Mondays 8-10pm, in the Wyllyotts Centre in Potters Bar.
