Coming Up: 3rd Oct - RPS/IPF Panels – What’s Involved

This week Donal McCann FRPS will explain what photographic distinctions are available through the RPS and IPF, along with how to work towards them.

Then Gareth O'Cathain, Paul McGivern and Brian Maguire, who all achieved their LRPS distinctions during the 12/13 season will talk about their journeys working towards their accreditation.  

Paul McGivern LRPS

Huge congratulations to BPIC Committee member Paul McGivern whose L panel was successfully recommended today at the RPS Licentiateship Assessments. Paul's panel will now go forward to the Advisory Panel for the seal of approval. 

The Day After The Night Before

Hi Everyone.

Just to confirm that, following the AGM on Thursday evening, the Club Officers for the remainder of this season and for the 2013/2014 season, are as follows:

  • Chairman: Brian Maguire
  • Vice-Chairman: Barry Lau
  • Secretary: Helen Weir
  • Treasurer: Matt Jeanes
  • NIPA Rep: Mark Overell

Other Committee Members: Gerald Gribbon, Russell Birch, Paul McGivern

Barry will also be taking on the role of Beginners Liaison officer. Donal McCann, whilst he has stepped down from the Committee, has indicated he is willing to continue to act as mentor for those members seeking accreditation. Michael Byrne has taken on the role of Club Outings Organiser and Gareth O'Cathain has agreed to assist Mark in the NIPA Rep role.

Thanks to all those who attended the AGM and engaged in the lively discussion. Minutes of the AGM and Chairman's report from Barry are attached.

Details of how to renew membership online will soon be circulated - I would encourage all members who intend to rejoin to do so as soon as possible, as this will greatly assist us in planning for the new season.

Finally, a special word of thanks to Barry for his exceptional performance as Chairman over the past year, and for agreeing to stay on as vice-chairman this year, despite the imminent new addition to the Lau family!

I'm looking forward to another great year ahead for BPIC.

Regards

Brian
Club Chairman​
