The Annual Spring Fair Visit

Well, Jules and I ventured off for our annual excursion to the Spring Fair at the NEC. We had already been told that the art & framing section was greatly reduced from previous years and this very much proved to be the case. Some of the major payers in the art and framing world were missing. A sign of the times!

Our main reason for this year’s visit was to have a look at computerised mount cutters . . . . . again! We’ve wanted one of these toys for a few years now, but a lack of space and the rather hefty price tag has always stopped us from taking the plunge. However, Jules is determined we should have one so it’s just a matter of which brand. The thought of a multi-aperture double mount cut in just a few minutes is pure heaven. So watch this space . . . . while I try and find some space. (something’s got to go!)

Harborough Mail Sponsorship

We've arranged with the Harborough Mail to sponsor the ‘Memory Corner’ section of the newspaper. For those who don’t know this little feature in the paper, it’s where they publish some great old photos of Harborough and the surrounding areas.  All being well the good folk of Harborough will see our logo-man dangling his legs at the top of this section each week!  We’re also sponsoring the area on their website where you can order prints of any of the images they have taken or used for the newspaper. http://www.photostoday.co.uk/

I ought also to say a quick thank you to Alastair Campbell of The Ideal Marketing Company http://www.idealmarketingcompany.co.uk/ who helped arrange this for us. A man of many contacts!
