Hi (again) David, from North Devon.
Keen to see how you get on with the darkroom of sorts. I'm on the verge of sorting my small bathroom for temporary use. I have all the equipment, just suffering with feeling that is harder to do that it probably is. Regards Stephen |

Thanks Neil - I'll definitely check that out! I've also got 'feelers' out to Yeovil Camera Club which is much closer......if they reply to my email!
Best wishes David |

Best of luck with both of those leads. It may be worth checking out your local colleges as well as some of them still have darkrooms. Might mean getting on a course though to use them (evening course). Neil.

Hi David and welcome. Hope you're successful in finding a club with darkroom facilities. A poorer but possible second choice is a nightschool course. I started this way and found one that ran 2 courses a week where the tutor didn't mind the students paying a second unofficial visit a week on the other course if it wasn't full. The bug bit so deep that I ended up convincing the wife to let me convert a spare bedroom!.
A well insulated double skinned garden shed is another possibility. A certain founder member here has just such a facility and might pitch in. Mike |

Hello David
If Bristol is not too far away, I can recommend my local community centre in St Pauls. It has excellent facilities for black and white and colour work. It's a modern centre which inherited all the old, but perfectly usable equipment, from the Watershed in Bristol when it crossed over to the dark side. It always has space and most of the time I have the whole place to myself for the whole day. It was supposed to be a short term thing for me until I had my loft converted but it's such a good facility that it needs as much use as it can get to keep it running. I've given up the idea of converting my loft for now. Hope this helps. Here's a link: http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/conten...F.tcwwwaplaws3 |
