The Bromoil Circle of Great Britain was founded in 1931 by the late Sam
Weller FRPS.
It currently has twenty members, all active bromoilists and four postal
portfolios are in circulation.
Members are of varying skill-levels and experience. The common factors
are an enthusiasm for the medium and a willingness to contribute, to
teach amd to learn.
Members of the Circle meet once a year for talks, demonstrations and a
face-to-face exchange of ideas.
The current members are:
Gilbert Hooper FRPS
Ken Hill FRPS
Maija McDougal ARPS
Dennis Atherton FRPS
Graham Bee LRPS
Rob Brimson
Len Dorricott
John Dyer
Owen Foster ARPS
Dave Francis
Tony Graham
Brian Iddon LRPS
Helen James ARPS
John Joyce
Peter Potter LRPS
Kenrick Roff ARPS
Keith Spencer FRPS
Kirk Toft LRPS
Roy Trotman
Don Whitley LRPS
and we have one honorary member - Gene Laughter, who was a guest at our
last meeting in Shrewsbury (but we don't send him any of the folios!).
As far as we know we are the only Circle in the UK and we do not know of
one in the States - maybe someone should start one - it's great fun.
Gilbert Hooper, Maija McDougal and Ken Hill will have an exhibition of
their bromoils in the Members' Gallery of the Royal Photographic Society
in Bath. It runs from 23 July to 19 August with a Workshop on 27 July.
