Peter William Toone (Lord Toone to his friends) passed away at home on Friday 22nd November 2019.

Condolences to his wife Jackie and son Samuel and rest of family.
Janet Elizabeth Cawley (1949-2019)
We have received this very sad news from Ed Cloutman.
It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that my partner and best friend of over thirty years passed away peacefully today on 11th November 2019 – Armistice Day. How appropriate that it happened today, close to 11am, a day that meant so much to Jan as every year while she was president of the St Athan WI she would stand at the war memorial in the village while the service took place for all those brave men and women. When she could no longer stand for the service she would listen to it on the television.

Congratulations are in order for Colin Price of New Quay Camera Club who has recently been awarded PPSA in recognition of his proficiency in International Exhibitions with Prints and Digital Images. This award requires at least 288 acceptances. Well done Colin.
There are many more photographers in Wales who enjoy success in PSA recognised exhibitions who I know could also gain awards with works already accepted. Please do consider adding PSA recognitions to your armoury. For more details contact me at ian.ledgard@talk21.com
