It will be officially unveiled to the press the preceding Monday evening (November 3) at 6.00pm.

Mayor of Bath In September 2006 the Mayor of Bath kindly agreed to become the Patron of the Bath Photographic Society. The Society is honoured to have the Mayor as Patron and it brings together two Bath institutions. The office of Mayor dates from at least 1230 and has been occupied by some important figures in the life of the City. The Bath Photographic Society dates from 1888 and provides a home for amateur photographers wishing to learn from other photographers, and to share their pictures and photographic expertise. It caters for beginners to the more experienced and all will find a welcome.
