Alternatively, get WMUK to buy a nice camera and an underwater housing. Let me know which wrecks & critters you want photographed. Much easier. Any of these of use: http://www.metropolis2.co.uk/Frutti/ ? -- Rexx On 4 July 2012 22:04, Roger Bamkin wrote: > Hmm that does look fun . and use

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Potential partners list

This is called a "mapping exercise" (at least by my local Health and Wellbeing Board). They commissioned research to first find out who was out there, and then have a few "workshops" for groups that shared a common interest. To start the process is easy enough for the collective mind of the
