Someone looking for darkroom equipment
I don’t know anything about sender of this email but I do know that some members have been trying to find a home for redundant equipment.
Contact Neil direct via email address

Hi Liz
I found your contact details through the Scottish Photographic Federation website, and I hope you don’t mind me contacting you. I was wondering if any of your club members had any old darkroom equipment they were looking to pass on to a keen enthusiast wanting to start developing 120 B + W film.
I would be very grateful if you could ask around at your club, and feel free to pass on my email address to anyone wishing to contact me.
Kind regards
Niall Henderson

Glasgow Buildings Photography Competition – great prizes !
Glasgow Landmarks Photographic Competition
This year Glasgow Building Preservation Trust is teaming up with The Mackintosh Heritage Group to offer you the chance to have your photograph displayed in Glasgow International Airport for a year. You will also have the chance to have your photograph displayed as part of The Creative Mackintosh Festival exhibition in Glasgow Art Club, we are also giving away many of exciting prizes donated by the organisations listed below. All we ask is that you take your best picture of one of Glasgow’s Landmark Buildings. A full list of the buildings can be seen here. http://www.glasgowlandmarks.org.uk/buildings/
To enter, email your low resolution (1024 x768 max) jpeg photograph to doorsopenday@gbpt.org along with your full name, age (optional), contact telephone number, name of Landmark Building & a chosen caption (optional). When sending the email please write ‘Landmarks Photographic Competition’ in the subject box. One entry per person. If you are selected as a finalist, a high resolution image will be requested; details will be given of file size requirements for printing.
The photograph does not have to have been taken during Sept/Oct 2012, please feel free to use existing photos, but they must be all the photographer’s own work. The photographer retains full copyright of their image, however the photographer would be expected to allow The Mackintosh Heritage Group to make use of the image for publicity purposes. However if the images were to be used for any commercial purposes (on cards etc) the group would renegotiate for its use.
