Some very interesting articles in the PAGB news letter. Did you know they now have an online advisory panel if you want to take part in their awards programme? Another excellent article about the hot topic of remote shooting in "where do we draw the line." I've linked it below but members can subscribe to get the eNews direct. Big thank you to Ann Owens for sharing.
