Hi Barbara, :)

I will have a universal card reader, which I'm hoping will do all types of cards. It says on it, CF/MD, SD MMC, RSMMC, mini SD (which is the one I have) MS Duo, MS Pro Duo, MS  MSPro and square(shown as a square box)/SM.  Admittedly it doesn't say XD.

The copyright act is shown on Rootschat, (this was one of the first places I looked) and we did check it out with some legals as well as the council checking with their own legals.  We (& Council) are following the Rootschat policy if not certain don't show it! It better to be safe!!

I will pop to a photo shop and ask this week!!

Look forward to seeing you!!!

Cancan :)

Sorry mean't to add,

I have managed to get together 20 clipboards and numerous pens and I have printed 2500 transcription sheets,(2 per page- 5000 in total) lets hope there isn't that many to write!! :o

Cameras, brollies, wellies and possibly packed lunch and drink is all that is needed!!!

Thanks Cancan :)

Sorry - I wasn't intending to throw a spanner in your works.  And as long as the project goes ahead and the photos get taken, people can access them and you are happy with the agreement then that's all that matters. 

I was merely pointing out that there is a provision in the copyright law which should cover the issue which should make the council feel more, not less, comfortable about it.

I agree with you Milly, however I suspect that poor old Mr DL would have to go through a year's worth of meetings to get policies changed!

Thanks Cancan, if your card reader won't take my card I'll just do wrting stuff instead. XD cards were only used by Fuji & Olympus and have now been phased out, so its a bit like a betamax videotape  ::)

Weather forecast not looking too bad!

Other than sensible footwear and clothes( I mean sensible clothes of course!) what else would we need to bring?
At the Cardiologist tomorrow and hope I can get to M/c General Cem on Sunday.Many of my family are buried there so I`m definitely going to bring tissues.
Looking forward to meeting those who are able to attend. Viktoria.
