Please let me introduce myself. I am the PR/Newsletter Officer for the Fovant Badges Society. As you probably know, we are a charity charged with preserving the scheduled war memorials that are the Fovant badges and with educating the public about the badges and their history. To this end, we produce an annual newsletter and as editor I am always looking for new ways of illustrating the badges in the landscape.
Last winter we had a fair amount of snow and I am very interested in obtaining a copy of any pictures that were taken of Fovant Down and the badges that captured these fairly rare wintry conditions. My attempts were sadly very poor. I wonder if I could trouble you to ask your members if they have taken any pictures that might be suitable for inclusion in the 2009 newsletter? Please give me a call if you would like to know a little more about the Society

New Printer
Following my previous post, Peter sent me details of an on-line print company, DS Colour Labs. I'm not really into on-line shopping but I thought I would have a go. I wanted images 15" x 10" but to get them to go over email, I reduced the image size down to 2mb. I was thinking that they would be grainy, or even pixilated, but, at only 85p a go, well it would be rude not to give them a chance. I filled in all their boxes and pressed send. I was looking to have 5 pics done. This was on the Sunday night. On Wednesday morning, Postman Pat arrived at 10:00 am with my prints. Beautiful. I wasn't happy with one, but that was my fault, not theirs. If I was going to have that one reprinted, then I might as well get them to print the rest of the panel and have them all printed the same way and on the same paper. Again I ordered on Sunday, and this time I had a note shoved through the door from Postman Pat, on TUESDAY at 10:30. They were waiting for me at the sorting office! Now, I know that I was looking for a bit of interest from my printer, or at least a bit of service, this wasn't quite what I had in mind. The speed, the quality, the price. Unbeatable. If, like me, you don't have an A3 printer, and you have yours done retail, I can only suggest that you give this lot a go. Peter recommeded them to me, and I have no hesitation in endorsing his opinion. NOW.............
Do you remember? We had a presentation some time in the early spring and the speaker talked about the guy who did his mounts. This was another internet site.................. but which one? Again, please either leave a comment here, or email me direct.
Phil.

Saintes Exhibition and Wiltshire Life
In 1990 and 1991 Salisbury Camera Club put on an exhibition in Salisbury twin city of Saintes. At that time we had a good deal of interaction with Saintes. Sheila and I visited the city and met their camera club and went to their own exhibition. I remember being quite amazed at some of the photos of insects. The quality was outstanding. Far better than anything we have seen in the UK. But we have lost contact it seems. Who speaks passable French? Perhaps we could try opening up the channel of communication again? Saintes city is a rather good place to visit with lots of Roman remains and a lovely river. See HERE
