with Jeans for genes and it will be wet and cold as well , the tour should suit our North, North American friends down to the ground. I hope Les McLean won't be there as I am not equipped for blizzards!

Will you not be supplying something like those little golf buggies for us to drive around the factory

I heard the main factory is really dark, should i take a big flash?

Sile has taken ill and will not be travelling with Fintan and I this evening, so her room in the Travelodge is free if anyone needs it.

See you all tomorrow and some of you tonight.

I'm exhibiting a bit of envy from way over here in Texas. I would love to take this tour. Maybe after retirement! Simon - keep these up for another 5 years.

I mean, I did go to England for Christmas Eve at King's College, I suppose I could justify this.

Ian Grant · Oct 4, 2008

Many thanks to Simon for organising a very packed and interesting day. Also thanks to Howard Hopwood the Chairman of Ilford/Harmann Technology for taking the time to come and talk to APUG members about how the company perceives the future of Silver Halide technologies.

I'd echo that - a thoroughly enjoyable day, thanks to everyone for taking the time and making us welcome.

Chazzy · Oct 4, 2008

I wish that I could have been there with you, everyone. I'm still hoping that Ilford will make a video tour and put it on their website, for those of us who can't make the trip to England.

Fintan · Oct 4, 2008

All I can say is wow, what an experience to see first hand the commitment, innovation and passion that drives IP-HT. I was a real privledge

Thanks to Howard and Simon for making it happen, I am most grateful.

And super to meet some fellow APUGers, what a great bunch of folks.
