August 2024 Newsletter Why? It’s a big question, a philosophical conundrum. In this case, it’s why RPS, why RPS Scotland? I guess the second question is easy enough to answer…it’s because you live here. But the rst question - why do people join the RPS, and stay members? There are many potential answers I guess…the magazines, the craic, the camaraderie, the photographic opportunities. For many folks it’s the photographic distinctions journey, and the chance to progress through those elusive and special letters L, A and F. The new Terms of Reference that RPS HQ introduced make speci c reference to that, and the roles of Regions and SIGS in helping people along that journey. We have two established Photoforums, and are planning on adding another two, giving the whole membership reasonably local access to that part of the journey. We are also hoping to have 2 regular Advisory Days each year. You will have recently received a separate email about all that, and in that email was a link to a questionnaire / poll in order to help us plan that. Page 5 has an overview of the various stages and options. We’ve had over 6o replies already, but here’s the link again, so go… ll it in. https://forms.gle/91tucSAfCxdLoi8y8

Monthly Competition No results for July as it is a two month competition to allow for everyone’s holidays. I’ll still post a picture to spur you on, and it was going to be my entry, but I’ve decided against it. I’ll let you make up your own mind why, and tell you the real reason next month.
