Photographs will be allowed throughout the museum, and the venue is quite impressive inside! However its darker than you think and a lot of things can get in the way presenting significant technical challenges. For example a good photo of Puffing Billy would require a wide angle lens and either more lighting equipment than you are likely able to lift or a camera with some serious low light ability. If someone has got some decent flash kit then a better version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waxwing_(Rocket_motor) would be nice. For a technical challenge I suspect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERNIE is near impossible to photograph well. On the other hand videos can work quite well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steam_engine_in_Science_Museum_Power_gallery.ogv -- geni ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

Because I do not have access to the membership email list. No doubt Richard will send it to the membership email list at the earliest possible opportunity. Thank you for your most constructive comments.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Election and resolution results
I'd like to personally thank the tellers for a professional job. I saw some of the negotiation of tricky candidate questions and was aware of some of the choices the tellers has to make on interpreting the process, done without reference back to the board for obvious reasons. Not an easy job for volunteers, and behind the scenes it was done quietly, effectively and impartially.
