    Hi folks,

    I have volunteered some time to help www.barretstown.org as they have a darkroom but no one to show the kids how to print and very little equipment.

    So I'm looking for any of the following which you don't use anymore and might be able to donate.

    Any compact film cameras
    B&W 35mm film, out of date is fine
    Film developing tanks
    Film reels
    Mixing jugs etc.

    Thanks
    Peter

    Thanks to those who pm'd me with their offers of cameras and other gear. I'll arrange collection soon as Barretstown will be organising a photo weekend for the kids in the coming weeks.

    If anyone else has any of the listed items below which they don't need, they would be put to great use by the kids.

    Any compact film cameras
    Enlargers, timers and enlarger lenses
    Easels
    B&W 35mm film, out of date is fine
    Film developing tanks
    Film reels
    Mixing jugs etc.
    Printing filters
    Any other darkroom gear

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Thanks to everyone who sent me gear and supplies for Barretstown. The response was great and their darkroom is now really well equipped. They have started running events with the kids and they are loving it.

    Thanks again,
    Peter
