2016 will be good for the region with more exhibition venues. I look forward to seeing as many members
and guests at events. If you have an idea for an event and feel it would be supported, please contact me to see if we can organise something for the Scottish members. I am very grateful to the Area Representatives and other members of the Society who manage the exhibition throughout the year, organising the hanging and transfer. Without their continued background support, this exhibition would not be the success it is. I am delighted that we have four new Representatives: Doug Berndt ARPS, Laura Hudson Mackay LRPS, Ian Robertson LRPS and Regina Verheyen. Photoforum days which run with the support of the panel members who give up their time freely. I would like to thank Roy Robertson HonFRPS, Sandy Cleland FRPS, Peter Paterson FRPS Hazel Frost FRPS, Karen Berry FRPS, Rikki O’Neill FRPS, Douglas May FRPS. Peter Paterson FRPS is in charge of the website (http://www.rps.org/region/Scotland) for the region, and any news, or images should be emailed to him (peter@ramseytullis.freeserve.co.uk) for inclusion, or entered as a portfolio on the RPS website via the members section. As those of you who have given permission for the RPS to contact you via email will know, I have used this system of communication to send out information in advance of the newsletter.
