The Last Post and a new beginning

This is the last post I will be making to this Blog. After two years as Chairman of Malden Camera Club I am stepping down for someone else to have the honour of being elected as Chairman.

However to replace the “Chairman’s Blog” we have set up a new blog for Malden Camera Club to tell you all about the latest news and views, the blog also allows members to add comments to the posts

I will continue to play an active role within Malden Camera Club publicising and promoting Malden Camera Club in particular managing the use of the internet by the Club; apart from the Club web site which is managed by John Horn. I will also be the editor of Print the club news letter which will be published four times a year.

Can I recycle my old photographs and negatives? | Leo Hickman | Environment | guardian.co.uk

From the Guardian by Lyn Ebbs

My new year's resolution is to cull my collection of old photographs. Can I recycle prints as paper waste and negatives or slides as plastic? Or should they all go to landfill? What about old black and white negatives? Do they have a significant amount of silver or other toxic materials coating them? I am willing to send them to a specialist processor, but can't find anything online.
