Hi Paul,

I’m interested in joining you on this trip, but will confirm for certain sometime nearer the date, if that’s OK with you.

Yes Paul, I wholeheartedly echo Tina’s comments.  Thank you for organising this event.

It was a really enjoyable and productive afternoon, with quite a few more members joining us than I was expecting, which made it even more worthwhile and sociable.

Well done for suggesting the Power Station area as worth visiting.

I’m taking a tripod and the only lenses I have otherwise any night shots I take will be awful!

 

See you all at Battersea Park Stn at about 3:30.

It seems there will be no issues on my journey as I’ll be travelling into Clapham Junction via the South Western Rail network and there don’t seem to be any problems on the short onward hop to Battersea Park via the Southern Rail network.  So hopefully, I’ll meet you all at Battersea Park Station, at around 3:30pm.

FYI – The forecast suggests that although it’ll be quite cloudy and cold (circa 6-7 degrees) on Sunday afternoon, the likelihood of rain is less than 10%.  So dress up warm!

Hi All,

Wally also contacted me about this via email – his exact words were:

“…I just went to Battersea Power Station today (Sunday) and found there is a problem with trains. None move to Clapham junction during the weekend.I came home a different way to getting there.Of which I will not tell you about. I walked over Chelsea bridge because I wanted a classic look of the power station.I then caught a 24 along the embankment to Victoria and caught the underground (District line ) to Blackfriars and came home on the thameslink. You may be able to go via London Bridge to Battersea power Station but I don’t know which line gets you there.Good luck with that…”
Wally.

So, I’m wondering whether it might be a good idea to postpone this outing until the trains are back to normal – if indeed that is ever likely to happen!

Hi Paul,

This a good shout as I understand from TV news reports that this area has only recently been opened up.  Assuming nothing untoward crops up in the meantime, I hope to join you.

Hi Tina,

Glad you can make it.  Looking forward to seeing you and Graham there.

Further to my first post (above) this is to inform everyone that <span style=”color: #ff0000;”>the deadline for placing an order for mountboard (or anything else from the Wessex Pictures’ catalogue / website) will be Friday February 10th,</span> which should provide ample time for everyone to decide what they need.

<span style=”color: #ff0000;”>Please also note that anyone wanting to order something, who then fails to place an order by the February 10th deadline will have missed the boat, as I will not be placing any further orders during this club year.</span>

I will track all requests in a spreadsheet, from which I can calculate the cost of what each individual has ordered. I’ll endeavour to publish this as a PDF once I’ve placed our order.

Don’t forget, the more we buy, the cheaper it will be for everyone. We need to spend a minimum of £75 (ex VAT) to qualify for free delivery, which based on previous experience, should easily be exceeded.

Once the order’s been placed and I have confirmation of a delivery date (to my house) I’ll then advise members of the club night date upon which I shall be bringing the goods into club for collection by all concerned.

Since neither I nor the club have long term storage facilities, those placing orders will need to be present on the relevant club night (TBA) to collect their board or make arrangements for it to be collected on their behalf. Although in theory, there might be an option to collect your items from my house after I’ve  taken delivery, please be aware that I live in Epsom, which is at least 30 minutes drive from Croydon.

For ease of reference, please find listed below all the colours available within the Wessex Low Cost mountboard range, together with their respective item codes.
