[Bradford] Talks for meetings for the group

[Philip Wyett]

Thanks for the advice.

You have answered many of my questions. I will look at a couple of subjects

As well as the net access you mentioned. Does the group have access to a big 
screen (VGA or HDMI) to hook my laptop up to at the meetings?

Regards

Phil
