Next Thursday print/digital display
As mentioned at the previous evening, we are going to trial a method of displaying a digital image of the print on display to aid those at the back, especially if its a small intricate print. With that in mind, if anyone is going to show a print and chat about it, can you send me a digital version so that I can load it up on the clubs laptop ready for the evening, just saves time and fiddling about.
Thanks, hope there is plenty to make it a good evening.
