*Costs are minimal... However, it would be nice of us to club together to buy a piece of equipment that would benefit the studios there..
I favour, that we also, 'club' together for a Minibus and show up.. With sleeping bags, cash in wallets + our work in the back..
We will be *welcomed* in Cromford.. Also it's the best time o' the year.. To show...

Dates: 29th - 31st July - can extend it if you'd like to 1st Aug? And open on 28th July - evening - what ever works best.
Studio will be clear from 28th July for hanging etc.
Photo's - I've attached as many as I can from varying angles - hopefully they will match up to the plan - which is approximate & not in scale..
Walks: surrounded by them - throughout the Dales & Peak District: best get some maps. A few areas that I like - Goyt Valley, Derwent/Lady Bower Reservoir, Snake Pass, Lathkill, Edale: Mam Tor and the Lords Chair and the ridge, Cromford Canal, Slinter Wood, Black Rocks, Shining Cliff Woods, High Peak Trail.
Places to stay:
Grey hound hotel (Cromford),
Pig of Lead (Cromford)
The fountain (Bonsall)
These may be pricey...
I don't have any equipment for film projection etc. Sockets: there are approx 6 sockets in the studio and 2 in the kitchen.
lock up - access is via stone steps (approx 10) to the top floor.
"The Old Lock Up Studio is in the beautiful and historic Derbyshire village of Cromford. The building itself is steeped in history. As it was previously owned by Sir Richard Arkwright in the 1700’s when he used the building as the village jail, one of the first of it’s kind in the country, hence it’s name.
Cromford is within the UNESCO World Heritage Site and this small Derbyshire village is where the industrial revolution began.
