Hi Andrew,

Have to admit that I didn't think of food ;)

I would like your friends to come along to this event, it would give
them a chance to get involved. Regarding the installfest, I would like
to give people this opportunity on the day

Seems there is a bit of work to do in finding a venue but I should
manage something, be it school, or community hall.

Also, a web page with mailing lists will be available soon too. I have
had a few offers of support so far which have come greatly appreciated.
As soon as a venue can be worked out, the rest can be worked on :)

Regards

Michael Collard
