InstallFest

[Martin Owens]

Hey Robert Vandyk,

Make sure you sign up to the mailing list, I just had to accept your
email manually and you wouldn't want your emails taking my time to
administer, plus you'll be kept up to date with the comings and goings
of the team.

Rather anoying, but at least it gives us a breather after all that

A very interesting development, live music.

It would be interesting to try out live music, would the band be up
for giving us a mention at their events, we need publicity more than
anything else.
