I attended the International Contax Zeiss Symposium at Richard Branson’s Hotel La Residencia in Deia, Mallorca
I was editor representing Buying Cameras magazine.
The objective for Contax was to discuss the methods used for magazine lens testing and the quality of Contax lenses. They were not happy with the general reduction in magazine testing quality and were suggesting that the technical editors were no longer very technical and didn’t understand the finer aspects of lens performance. An interesting debate!

Event at Hoar Cross Hotel – it may have been a Minolta Dynax launch?
I attended a press conference at Dryburgh Abbey Hotel May have been Minolta I cannot recall date, time or event
I think HP took us out to Belgium to visit the Euro Space Centre while trying out some new cameras – possibly the PhotoSmart 912, although I can’t be sure. I can’t be sure of date or year either so I’ve put 1995 until I know for sure. What I can be sure about is volunteering first to have a go on the Gyroscope a training device for astronauts to get them used to no gravity.
We stayed in the Alfa Theatre Hotel in Antwerp
Fujifilm sponsored the Raceday Silverstone 10/11 September 1994
