Indoor Karting

Last Friday saw the showdown at a team event where the theme was indoor Kart Racing.  There were 30+ drivers up for the challenge divided into 8 teams.  The title was up for grabs, team tactics were the order of the day, some of them out for the fun of the event, many out for glory and very competitive with it.   With the warm ups out of the way, it was 2 and a half hours of continuous racing with the eventual winners being team 7.   Below are a couple of slideshows depicting the race as it unfolded, the first being a shorter version for those that want a sneak peak, the second provides more coverage of the event from start to finish building on the first slideshow.

Focus on Imaging 2013

Well I know it's a little late, but iv'e been busy since returning from the show!  Earlier this month I was helping on the PT4U stand at the Focus on Imaging show at the NEC near Birmingham.  Focus on Imaging is Europe's biggest annual imaging show where manufacturers, distributors and suppliers come together to reveal and show off their products, putting temptation in the way if your are not too careful. As well as a great range of products around the various halls there were frequent demonstrations to be seen.  Over on the PT4U stand Mark Cleghorn along with a couple of his Photography Masters, namely Kenny Martin and Sean McCormack put on a great series of demonstrations that had the crowds building all around and were well received.  The show ran for 4 days which in reality is very exhausting when you consider you are on your feet for the duration of the show being open for 8 hours a day, as well as the 2 days to build and strike down when the show was finished, but I have to admit I really enjoyed it.
