This is a dayschool for campaigners to learn more about online tools
that can help their group to organise and win campaigns. It's for people 
who are just starting out learning the basics, and for folk who want to 
improve their skills. There will also be a forum  for more experienced 
techies' to share ideas.

If you can bring a laptop or tablet (or smartphone) that will help you 
to get the most out of the day, but there will also be some computers 
available. There will be WiFi at the venue.
