"The Hanging Committee" is a body which, despite its somewhat menacing title, is in fact a harmless and worthy group of people responsible for deciding who can hang or display their pictures - in this case, in York Minster.We had asked if we could display our Photographic Exhibition, "Children of Hope", in the Minster, encouraged to approach them by the Archbishop's wife, Margaret Sentamu, who spoke at the Guest Preview of the Exhibition in Kendal in October.
However we were disappointed to receive their decision today that on this occasion we can't be hanged - rather, hung - in the Minster. However they invited us to apply again in 2013. As we incurred the considerable expense of getting all these photographs printed and mounted for the original Exhibition, the more often we can display them, and the more places people can have the chance of seeing them, the better the value. So we said, "Yes, please!"
