News Members’ Night: images appraised by Jed Wee ARPS This will be a lively critique of members’ images night led by Jed Wee ARPS as only he can and no doubt with spontaneous contributions from the audience. Only organiser Ian Peele knows what pictures have been submitted. Everyone else, including Jed, will first see what has been submitted on the night It will be fascinating to see the work chosen by our multi talented members, and discussed in a non competitive environment Something different (if you include the Jed Factor) and something to enjoy … Don’t miss Reminders: print boxes will be out for 3rd Progress Print competitions, Durham Town Hall exhibition, and prints to be collected from the Annual Exhibition Also time to join the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk 7th October in aid of The Springs of Hope Kenya Orphanage. This is the 10th Anniversary and for the first time there will be a Durham walk led by our own Tony Mearman LRPS CPAGB AFIAP and open to all. Find out more and sign up here Pictured: Handing Off by Jed Wee ARPS (The evening will be in a non competitive environment but competitiveness might be depicted!)
