Don't forget your camera's if you go-Wolverton staff love a good phot of their premises and stock -Martin _________________ Why do farmers put gates at the muddiest part of the field ?
I remember Dan sending me a few piccies last year, and then asking me not to publish them on here. I've read his comments on the Locoscene forum tonight, and its basically what he told me last year.
I think i'd told them to go forth, cheeky sods.
Here are Dan's comments, for those who are not members of Locoscene, and wish to attend next years open day.

We asked the people there if we could take photos, as we know what some works are like, and were surprised to find out that the answer was 'Yes, as long as you don't send them to others'
So I happily took photos, and they never stipulated this at all, I put them on my website only, which I thought was fine. A couple of days later I got no less than 3 emails demanding quite rudely that I remove them immediately or face further action. They also contacted us at home, and my dad when he was at work, again quite rudely demanding we delete them. They also claimed that we were listing them to be sold on my website (the Buy Now icon on fotopic), when this was not the case, another photter from the MK area still had the icon active, but I had removed it when I started my website, and we stated this to them, but at first, they refused to believe it, claiming I stop selling photos for profit (wouldn't dream of doing this anyway)
Also to make matters worse, they said, as I had put a reference to him on my fotopic that as I was 'an associate' of Andrew Chambers (Andrew_MK, who they believed was trespassing at the site, and had the BTP ready to arrest him next time he ventured over the area on accounts of trespassing) They claimed that as I know Andrew, they were now monitoring my site as well, and threatended to take further action if any dodgy looking shots were found, they were going to find me guilty of breaching rules etc if I didn't delete my shots by the end of the day. I know Andrew A. Wouldn't and B. Has no need to trespass on the site, it is just the zoom lens he is using, I felt that their action over the matter was most unneccesary.
It is for these reasons that I'm not going again! I'll wait till stuff leaves the works!
