From Neil Cooper

I also found another alternative supplier of mountboard etc (Colourmount brand rather than Arqadia) who were helpful and quick - Renaissance Mouldings at Waltham Abbey, about 20 miles/25 minutes from me at Hatfield along the M25.  I attach an excerpt from their brochure - they charge £8 for delivery or free over £200 but I just went and picked it up.  They tell me CRA have gone into liquidation (second time) as they were one of their customers - Renaissance are a large importer/wholesaler of materials, but are just as happy with personal visitors.  They won't cut the board to size though.  They also gave me a swatch card which I'll bring along to the club    http://www.renaissancemouldings.com/

From Michael Shaw:  Bloom can supply a wide range of boards cut to size.  They cost £6.50 a sheet  and that gives 4 mounts at a cost of £1.63 each.  This compares well with the Daler Board that I buy from Luton which works out at £1.50 a mount, but they do not cut them for you.  She can also supply the safety rulers at about £18.00 fro the metre and £9.00 the 50 cm.
