Great exhibitions and conferences but what exactly do they do for the money? More for the members please and less centred on the organisation. Let the accumulated knowledge flow down the organisation, then the organisation may rise as the strength of the members improves and drives through to better industry acknowledgement of the Society.

I have sent my photos for mentoring and feedback and have never heard back. I have chased up for the feedback and so far had no response. As a photographer who is trying to break through, develop and succeed I am quite disappointed and thinking of cancelling my membership.
