Dear All,

I have been trying to locate a couple of items;

1. When I was running the club competition the club bought a portable cloth photo booth and lights in order to improve the quality of the photos of the competition entries.
2. I brought along to the club a laptop computer, power supply and spare battery. It was loaded with a few You Tube videos about such things as; using the Pro-edge sharpener, how to turn a basic bowl, colouring etc.  It was loaned to the club to be located in the workshop so that members could revise techniques by watching an appropriate video before starting a task, (particularly sharpening).

I have been unable to find either of these items and should be very grateful if someone were able to let me know where they are.

Thanks in anticipation.

David
