Well, here's an awkward question. Harry McDonald (the other Harry Mc), chair 
of IEEE WA Section has asked if lab space is limited to 10 attendees, could I 
create a webinar ? Then I thought ..

Is broadcasting from the EMC labs in Bassendean something that PLUG AV would 
tackle ? It is a bit circular, PLUG AV webinar broadcast of testing the PLUG 
AV UberTally but there you go.

Did I read BBB is out to lunch at the moment ? I this is fixable, let me know 
if AV people could/would do this and we can consider some more.

All the best
Harry
