I am trying to organise an informal workshop/gathering of LF users here in the UK (or anyone visiting our shores!). At the moment there are about 6 people who have confirmed an interest in attending this "event" - it will be held from Friday (evening) 20 May to Sunday 22 May 2005, "somewhere" in the Lake District - we have an "expert" currently working on suitable options for a base for good locations within the area!! There will be no charge for this event! It is open to anyone using LF gear - including roll film backs and you can even bring along your digital SLRs (as long as you use them with a darkcloth!). It is meant as an informal gathering/information sharing get together and ALL levels of experience are welcome - even complete beginners who have yet to take the plunge! There is no itinery (yet) but there will be some structure when I know who is coming, what they want to do, if they want to learn anything in particular, or just take pics in a group etc etc! Come along if you just want a chat about LF! I envisage us making a base in a hotel/guest house, so hopefully we will be able to negotiate good rates! We will also have somewhere to "discuss the days events"! You will only need to pay for your accommodation, food and travel :( If anyone is interested then please get in touch ASAP so we can plan accommodation etc. When I get some ideas of numbers I will don my begging head and see if I can arrange some demo equipment or film from "generous" UK suppliers :)
