Hi Jethro...

Nope. No-one asked them that I know of.

I'm not planning on catering :-) A sponsor I didn't think of getting. There is
a fridge/oven/table/chairs for staff, but this is not currently planned to be
available for our use (full of their stuff). Bring whatever you want with you.

Yep, space age toilets available.

Nope. Anything we bring will be a "on your own head be it" basis.

Not sure, It will pay to bring a cord or two. Clearly mark such with your
name...



Also:

I hope to hear back from Michael about the modems shortly, once I know which
ones we will run with I can give you the price for the web page.

Can you please add to the web page (& form?) once I confirm the modem price:
