The BIPP open Day at Newcastle college was very popular and some members managed to get their qualifications on the Same day. Well done to Michael Barlowe ABIPP.

The annual BIPP NE Image competition took place at the Ravensdene Hotel. The 2 Judges were Stuart Wood FBIPP and Rob Lawson who is the Editor of the Sunderland Echo newspaper. For those who didn't turn up,  you missed a very good night with a very high standard of images. Stuart Wood went through each image and was assisted by comments from Richard Ord who stood in for the other Judge Rob Lawson who had business commitments. As each image was displayed they were discussed by both Judges and  other BIPP members who attended. I very interesting evening. Thank you to all who submitted and turned up.

A very informative meeting
