You make some very valid points John and I’m all for encouraging meetings of Friends to view and discuss prints, and, where possible to handle top quality work. This was one of the reasons that we have our annual meeting, this year in Yorkshire, as well as exchanging prints via the print exchange, and of course participation in our annual exhibition FADU2011. Several of us also participate in other print circles, such as the PPC, to receive critique of our work. Having said all that there is certainly room for more local meetings; others have arranged these, Rob for example has arranged several in Norfolk as has Neil in the southwest, although none specifically as fine print workshops.
I disagree that posting on facsimiles of our prints on sites such as FADU is a complete waste of time, whilst it is next to impossible to judge print quality from a monitor; it is useful to obtain critique or advice on content and composition this way, which will be of help to many.
Why not organise just such a meeting in London so that interest can be gauged with regard to future events.
