Notes from your RO Hello and Goodbye, After eight years as the Yorkshire Regional Organiser I am now stepping aside. This will be my final newsletter and I would like to personally thank all the committee members and everyone else who has supported me throughout the years. It is testament to the region and members that the committee have worked tirelessly to provide a varied and sustained calendar of events throughout. I for one am looking forward to a continued and possibly even broadened range of photographic activities for the membership. Although stepping down as RO, I hope to stay on the committee with just one function and that will be to deliver the new ‘Photography Development to Distinctions’ formerly the Self Help Groups, and help with other regional events, where possible.

January 2019 will see further changes for the regional committee, not only the RO but also our current Treasurer, Robert Helliwell ARPS, will be stepping down after six years and Geoff Blackwell ARPS who you might recognise as the past Society Treasurer will take over from Robert. Furthermore the committee have expanded, co-opting new members Leigh Foster and Chris Hodgson, taking responsibility for events such as the advisory days and photo shoot days, giving a greater accomplishment in providing a varied calendar of events. And with that note, my parting farewell, I wish Mark much success and look forward to working with the new committee also to seeing many of you at the forthcoming events. Regards Mary Now, over the page, let me introduce you to your new RO Mark Slater, as from December 2018. Mark has been co-opted onto the regional committee with this role being his sole purpose; he will be officiated to the role at the AGM and Members Day in April 2019.
