Some Final Words...

Well, we've had an incredible two days and I'd just like to thank everybody who took part. A particular thank you to every delegate who attended - we could not have had a conference without you!! Thank you to Rob, Karen and Nigel for all the hard work they have put into making the last two days a great success, and to Debbie, Stephen, Jason, Natalie and Hayley, who helped everything to run so smoothly. Finally, thank you to the speakers and keynotes, whose talks and presentations provided a fascinating insight on many different aspects of seaside photography and were certainly thought-provoking.

The hard work and manic preparations paid off and we can now look back on the past couple of days with a sense of pride in the achievements of the archive that holds the history of our Isle of Thanet depicted in its photographs.

Although the conference is now over, the exhibition Beyond the View: Reframing the Sunbeam Photographic Collection will continue to run until 23rd August at the Sidney Cooper Gallery, Canterbury - please spread the word!

Pep talk before second day of conference.

Waiting for delegates to arrive.
