I'm probably one of the Leeds school people you refer to from the Anglia
conference.

Sadly Bruce, we're right in the middle of moving house at the moment,
otherwise we'd be happy to put you up. For the same reason, I won't be able
to attend the UKUUG do, however if you have time, it would be nice to meet up
for a beer one evening, and I'll fill you in with my tales of woe regarding
Linux at Corpus Christi school here in Leeds.

If anyone else has a spare bed, I can vouch for the fact that Bruce is a great
bloke and has, to my knowledge, crusaded on behalf of alternative computing
platforms at least since the early days of the Acorn Archimedes.

Cheers
