Darkroom Proposal
The Conwy Arts Trust here in N. Wales have got to the final round in getting some money to set up a darkroom in Colwyn Bay. Whether they get the money depends on a public vote. Any promotion of traditional photography is in our interest. I hope you will vote for the money to go to this project here:

Looks like a great project, Mike but I was amazed that there wasn't some kind of vetting to check where the voters were. By no stretch of the imagination can the S Mids be regarded as part of N Wales
My problem which I answered with my own "rationalisation" on its worth is that I am voting on a project which looks to be competing with other projects such that there will be winners and losers and in reality I have skewed the voting to an extent when I have no equity in any project in N. Wales. It's a bit like Tam Dalyell's "West Lothian Question" where Scottish MPs vote on matters whose outcome only affect England and not the devolved Scottish Assembly so they have no equity in the outcome.

Thanks for the support.
'The West Lothian Problem' that Mike raises did trouble me a bit before I posted it. However, I have come to terms with it because a) they ask for people to spread the voting request by Social Media so that the organisers must have crossed and reconciled that bridge, b) It is in the interest of all of us who contribute to this forum to promote darkroom work. All the finalist projects are worthy in their own right but I would not unnaturally like to see the money go to traditional photography! Mike |

All good points, Mike and that's largely how I rationalised my participation as well.
Let us know how it goes Mike |

Well I voted despite being in Berlin!
One reason was that it is a great idea and my reasoning for taking part is that I spent so many years when I did landscape photography doing my work in North Wales - also not to mention, my father (who founded the first private photography school in the UK) lived for many years in North Wales. Also, I spent so many years of my life in North Wales.. Bests, David. www.dsallen.de
