OK folks, I know it might seem a bit early but, since there will be two workshops this autumn, we thought we'd better give you plenty of time to book that all important time off work if necessary.
UK
Paul Owen will be organising the UK workshop this time and, surprise it should be somewhere in Wales, yet to be finalised. Paul will confirm the dates but we think it will be towards the end of October.
Since people seemed to rise to the challenge in Maldon, this workshop will not be simply a get-together where we go our separate ways during the day and only meet up for the evenings, we will be setting locations and challenging you to make images from what you find in front of you
France
This year, I have been busy organising a three day introductory workshop for our French photographic cousins, to take place from the 9th to the 11th of October in the Val de Rance area near St Malo. Return ferry fares should be less than £200 for a car and passengers and sailings can be had from Portsmouth or Poole to St Malo or Cherbourg.
The main aim of the workshop is to introduce people to the delights and mysteries of LF photography, and to that end we have organised French tutors for the French attendees. Therefore there is a charge of €290 (plus accomodation and meals) for the weekend if you wish to come along as a "learner", but we are also looking for people who fancy a working holiday, where the charge could be reduced in exchange for your help in teaching someone else - but only if there are people to teach
We are hoping to publicise this workshop amongst both the French and UK photographic clubs, but if you know of anyone who might be interested in attending as a learner, please put them in touch.
Because we don't want to exceed two/three learners per tutor, and to ensure sufficient accomodation, places will be limited. But, if you would like to arrange a short break in the Brittany area, we could certainly provide you with some interesting locations to photograph, and you would be welcome to join Helen and myself as we move further west into Brittany for the following couple of weeks.

Autumn 2009 Workshops
Reassure yourself - stroke an Ebony
Wales sounds great. Many thanks to Paul for being willing to organise it. If dates are not already fixed, the last week in October is half term and some of us with children may find it difficult to get away. But I appreciate that week may be easier for teachers for example, and no date will suit everyone.

Any idea where in Wales yet? I'm taking 4 days in July to check out Barmouth, the Mawddach estuary and Cader Idris. I will of course post any interesting images I take on here for a little bit of critique.
