Photowalks Day at Rutherford Appleton Lab, Abingdon

We get some odd requests to post about, this one I think has some great photo opportunities as well as the chance to see the insides of a world renowned lab.

“Amateur and professional photographers will be able to enjoy unprecedented access to some of the most remarkable science and technology currently being undertaken in the UK, as the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is to hold a series of ‘Photowalks’ across its impressive sites at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, its Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire and its Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire, on 22, 23, 24 November respectively.

Places on the Photowalks are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. On registering, applicants will be sent a full information pack including factsheets on the facilities that will be visited during the tour. All participating photographers must be 18 years old or over.”

Further details of the photowalks are available at http://www.stfc.ac.uk/Public+and+Schools/37355.aspx
