Well, having read this latest submission,I am pleased to confirm if you
folks need a stand space we (the show organisers) can arrange it obviously
it would be at no cost.
If one person can write about 250 words about the list and its aims etc we
will find some space in the souvenier programme.
Though our direct lline to heaven normally ensures good weather, some form
of gazebo, tabling etc will be needed. I'm fairly certain we can arrange
tabling, but other things like cover, mains power and comms may need some
thought by those collaborating on this. Pl bear in mind that there is no
mains electric away from the buildings at the Hop Farm, which means think
about charging up laptops etc......

I suggest someone, say Richard Notton calls Rex Cadman direct to discuss
this and your other needs. ..... Rex says in principle he can arrange for
use of a suitable phone point within the complex offices to make the
neccessary uploads on a once/twice daily basis....this will be hell of a
lot easier than trying to do it from a mobile phone link. rex is at
rex@warandpeace.uk.com

I have just spoken to Milweb's technical guru who has confirmed we would be
pleased to provide the necessary webspace and FTP access to enable the
suggested ideas to become a reality.
If you have any thoughts on technical issues Chris can be reached at
Chris@milweb.net I suspect he is bracing himself for this one.

At the risk of being cuffed for another "infommercial" take a look at the
event on www.warandpeace.uk.com The video of the 1999 event is now selling
like hot cakes and can be ordered from rex@warandpeace.uk.com, MVPA shop or
www.dukevideo.com

PS If any of you would like to buy a copy of the 1999 event programme Rex
has just a few left....
