    Cheap Banner 20ft wide ?

    Shame it is a logo, not a word. I have this set of fabric banners. Each letter is 1.5m tall. Last time I used it was at the top and bottom of this page: http://www.tug.com/blog/2013/07/06/01.html Andrew

    Lightroom, behaving strangely

    ***The "We need another meet in Summer 2013" thread***

    No can do. I'll be at Bristol Kite Festival. Which might be an interesting alternative to the usual round of the same landmarks in London again... Andrew

    OcUK Photo Comp - THE FUTURE (pt2)

    That might be ambiguous. My intention was that the judges chose the theme. On the grounds that they would likely choose a good one. Andrew
