Open To All

From the most knowledgeable, to those merely curious… we are open to all. First time visitors are welcome to attend any of our talks, free of charge. For subsequent visits we request an optional donation of £3 per person. BAS Talks are free to members. We have over 120 members, who enjoy high quality weekly meetings, and who benefit from equipment and material loans. Our main meetings with an invited speaker will be at the Bristol Photographic Society (BPS). These will be a hybrid format, so those unable to attend will still be able to watch the meeting over Zoom. Our members nights will continue over Zoom. BAS Members registered on our mailing list will receive a meeting invite a day, or two, before the meeting. This will contain full details on how to attend by Zoom.
