Hope you don't mind me forwarding this.  There is no mention of the
event on the museum's website but the place itself sounds interesting...

Dear list owner,

I'd be grateful if you could let your list members know about the
following event at which they will be very welcome.

Ubuntu Demo Day, Swindon

We'll be holding an Ubuntu Demo Day at the Museum of Computing in
Swindon (Oakfield Campus, Marlowe Avenue) from 10am till 4pm on Saturday
26 April. This will be an opportunity to meet other users, gaze lovingly
into each others desktops, talk to potential users, and of course visit
the Museum.

Local publicity will be aimed at telling people about Ubuntu, allowing
them to try it out on the demo machines, and giving out liveCDs. We'll
also have screencasts and videos running on a large-screen projector.

This event will be free, and there is plenty of free on-site parking.
There are plenty of alternative activities nearby for partners and
families, including children's activities, shopping, and outdoor
activities. A "partners and families" leaflet will be available on-line
soon, if you'd like a copy now please contact me.

If anyone would like to help at this event, please contact me - our main
need will be for experienced users to talk to non-users and answer their
questions.

Thank you,
