[HLUG] Hlug stall at diamond day event

[Sarah Chard]

Hi All
we are thinking about about running an HLUG info stall at the event in
Hereford on July 11th 2012 when the queen is visiting - there are spaces
going in the community tent

Would any of you be able to help by committing for a couple of hours so
we can cover the day - we already have 3 people who can come along but
need a few more to ensure we have enough people.

There will be lots of schools, teachers, parents there so I think it's a
good way to spread the word about Linux, Opensource and of course Tuxedu
and we will have  a ready audience so no prior publicity work is needed.

I need to contact the organisers asap if we want a place so let me know
if you think you can be there - for a couple of hours or all day if you
can
Sarah
