In total […] Congratulations to everyone who had an acceptance in the 2020 Welsh Salon of Photography (not to be confused with the Welsh International Salon, see below). Also huge thanks to Cliff Emery and his team who had quite a challenge on their hands this year, especially with judging the prints. After being delayed since early lockdown, […] Bernard Brown FRPS AWPF passed away peacefully on 16 November. Many will remember him as an avid photographer. He could be a bit abrasive at times (he told me to write that) but a good friend to those who took the time to really get to know him. His main interest was stereo photography and […] We’ve received this sad news from Roy Carr of Barry Camera Club. It is with great regret that I announce the death of John Harvey, who passed away on Wednesday 30th September, aged 92.

We’ve been informed that our former member, Trevor Clayton, passed away on Wednesday 23rd September. Trevor had been a member of Gwynfa for over 30 years.

Following the success of our informal online advisory service, the PAGB Executive Committee has agreed that it should be established on a permanent basis administered by David Smith.

It is an advisory document and does not set out a policy for anyone to follow. It is intended only as guidelines for Clubs to construct their own policy. Events in 2020 have led to the widespread […] Congratulations to Dennis Russ who recently won both a Gold Medal and The Raymond Walter Trophy for best in show in the RPS Digital Image Group Competition 2020. His images are shown below. A wonderful achievement. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA […] Congratulations are in order for PSA member Neville Thomas whose participation in the recent Taiwan Photo Circuit gained him 9 acceptances. If you wish to be added to the list of those who receive this newsletter (which goes out about twice a month) please send Leigh Woolford your email address. Our thanks to Everybody who made the WPF 2020 Conference such an outstanding success. The general theme was creativity and Speakers Bernard Geraghty, Ross McKelvey, Sharon Prenton Jones and Barry Barker brought insight, energy and enthusiasm with their unique brands of photography. They generously identified the people and places in their images. But more than […] We have just had an enjoyable morning selecting this exhibition. Our thanks go to Ed Cloutman EFIAP Hon.FWPF and Roy Thomas APAGB Hon.FWPF for being the selectors. I was pleased to press the buttons during the selection process which was undertaken using our new Zoom licence. Our thanks also go to Martin Nagle whose idea […] We have received this sad news from Gwynfa Camera Club. Our friend and member Ken Watkins has passed away suddenly at his home in Beddau. We understand that his passing was not Covid related. Ken was a member of our club for many years and during his time at the club occupied numerous committee positions, […] When a judge or lecturer (I’ll call them speakers for convenience) is listed in the PAGB Handbook, he/she has entered into a compact with all the clubs affiliated to the Alliance. That compact says, in essence, that the speaker will give his/her time to the clubs for no remuneration. Reasonable expenses are payable and those […] The Ace of Prints should have had a closing date of 21st June and a judging date of 5th July and we would normally now be sending out a formal reminder and a set of rules.
