KINGSWOOD ARCHIVES PRESENTED BY OUR PRESIDENT JOHN LONG, ARPS, DPAGB, Hon PAGB

This evening we were taken well 'back in time' with the presentation by John Long of prints dating back to the formation of the Society in 1948. We viewed beautiful darkroom work finalising with a collection of 13 prints given to KPS by Frank Reece Winstone for safe keeping. All 13 prints were over 100 years old and are now kept in the Bristol Record Office. John had arranged to collect these prints for our enjoyment - thank you John, it was the highlight of the evening.

KPS have an Annual Exhibition and the winner of the best print of the exhibition is awarded the Bennett-Salanson Bowl. In the second half of the evening we were shown all the winning prints from the beginning to today's date which obviously spanned the darkroom and digital eras.
