Location

I'll probably come. Presumably where it says "Manchester" that is old information? 86.6.26.208 20:50, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Thoughts on classes

Following on from conversations at the Jan 17 events, mentioned on the UK mailing list, there seemed to be considerable agreement that, apart from the general aim of recruiting people etc, the most useful actual photos might well be in specialized areas where we were weak, as opposed to general "old buildings" where we are mostly very strong. Such specialized requirements could be encouraged by special classes with their own prizes. Those mentioned, as I recall, were:

• War memorials
• Wrecks (there are "Scheduled wrecks")
• Church furnishings
• Side of a building murals

Please add any other thoughts above or below. Johnbod 14:04, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly with Johnbod that we should try to concentrate on specialized areas where there is the opportunity to do something useful that doesn't just duplicate what is already available elsewhere. My particular interests would be in:

• Ogham stones -- I uploaded images of 4 stones from Cornwall and Devon a while back, but there are 30+ stones in Wales, nearly 40 in Scotland, and half a dozen in the Isle of Man, and most of these are in situ.
• Anglo-Saxon crosses, especially Runic crosses
