Thank you everyone for your very kind and encouraging comments. If I get half as much good feedback from visitors to the exhibition I'll be more than happy
In response to some of the specific points raised:-
JennyS - I'll see what I can do about "a mini-exhibition image post" though many WAB members will have already seen (albeit in compressed format) a lot of the images I shall be displaying.
Colin - I'm glad to see the local publicity machine is working

In fact, I shall be there on both Saturdays (the 1st and 8th November) and also on Sunday the 2nd (from 10am to 4pm each day) so I look forward to meeting you. If I don't spot you first do please introduce yourself - I'll also not be wearing a carnation
Judging by the PMs I've had you may even bump into one or two other WAB members
d70mpv - I'm sure your trip to Poole and Brownsea will be far more worthwhile but if you really wanted to see my exhibition it will also be open on the Saturday of the following weekend , ie the 8th November.
Thanks again to everyone for your interest.
Jeff
