Re: [ubuntu-uk] open source expo
Hi Alan Looking towards tomorrow night's meeting. I'm sure all will be revealed, but I see you are no longer there at the beginning. I'm thinking if we don't have the banner, posters and tablecloth at least, all we'll have is a couple or rather pathetic computers and not much else. Just to flag up. I shall be arriving in London at tea-time on the Tuesday and could collect from London area. I'm happy to be there at the Expo early to set up. See you on IRC tomorrow.

We have a distinct lack of CDs and banners and tablecloths at the moment, however I have a surprising box of other swag including lanyards, badges, stickers and suchlike.
