Many thanks Dave, Barry, Brianbird, Jon Butler, Numnutz and Hughes for your kind support at Silverprint today. I enjoyed the occasion very much indeed although I can't believe how nervous I was to start with. Which is not like me, must be meeting you FADUist for the first time

Again thank you for being there with your support

Yes hear-hear, an enjoyable afternoon for me too.
Many thanks to Trevor, you really do love what do.
Harminders eloquent talk on evaluating your own and other peoples photographs I found very interesting and not million mile away from way of my thinking.
Thanks SILVERPRINT.
Regards JON.

It was great to meet you at last Trevor, & to meet Dave & Barry again, also Harmindor,
who I met at the book launch in Nottingham last Year. The talk by both of you was very interesting & thought provoking made me see my own images in a new light! Also thanks to all at silverprint.
Envied you the train back Dave & Barry, filthy dive back, also only managed 3 shots because of lousy weather, also got nice & wet for my trouble!

Thank you all for your kind replies.

I've also passed on your comments to Harminder who was delighted to have meet you. He also asked me to mention if anyone would like a copy of our book, Times Present he would be happy to offer it to FADU members at the discounted price of £20 + £4 p&p. He will also like to offer to anyone who purchases a copy a high quality inkjet print of one of my photographs of your choosing from the book. The book plus one of my images - that's got to be a steal

You are too kind Bill

I forgot to say if anyone is interested, please PM me as there isn't provision on the Timespresent website to offer this discount.
