Yup, that's that big green and orange building - can't miss it, near glows in 
the dark :-) (and according to the people whom unfortunately own houses 
nearby, at least as far as has been reported in the press, you'd think that 
is was built by satan himself!)

1) Name badges - I have colour bubble jet and sticky labels...

2) Questionaire for when people turn up, see:

We will probably apprieciate help from even those whom haven't installed 
anything on the day - such as handing out questionaires explaining a little 
more about Linux etc...

Or if you know Landlords, shop owners etc...

activity to be confirmed)
