North UK meet up?

[hacksawbob]

These guys do a photography day with a couple who are wildlife photographers. In September they have some dates coming up. Its ?100 for a day with 7 other photographers, you get exclusive shots of the birds with no crowds etc and they will take the jesses (leg straps) off some birds. Or if we could get 8 together ourselves they will do a day on date of our choosing. Anyone fancy it? Based North UK Penrith Cumbria. Maybe we could base a Manual focus weekend around it....

Hello Bob,
The Photography Days are fantastic days which give all participants the opportunity to photograph a variety of native birds in natural settings with our falconers placing the birds in various natural posses and showing natural behaviour whilst the birds completely ignoring the photographers.
If you got a group of 8 photographers together we could put on a day just for yourselves. The cost of the day would be ?100 per person which would include lunch and the use of our birds, including the Golden Eagle, for the day along with 2 Falconers and Professional wildlife photographers Ann and Steve Toon who are available all day for advice and technical information.
If your group would just like the use of the birds for the day the charge is ?60 per person including lunch, the use of the birds and 1 Falconer.
If you wanted to come on your own then we have a couple more days running later in the year, the dates for these are the 7th and 9th of September 2007. The cost of these days are ?100 per person per day.
Which ever day you go for participants always produce some absolutely fabulous photographs some have even won competitions.
I hope that helps and look forward to hearing from you if you have any more questions don't hesitate to mail us or ring on 017683 61724.

Regards
Richard Cooper
