Thanks to all for the response.

I've had a look at the map and the majority of folk are in the central
England area ( about the same amount north as Wales). Except me up here in
NE Scotland (near Dundee) & Martin Portman down in Guildford. I'm willing to
make the journey down south some weekend between the end of March & end of
April.

So, the big question is, does anyone have a spare aircraft hangar / barn
with electric supply & a shit-load of sleeping bags in the mid-England area
!?!

I'm also assuming that you guys all have network cards, I have one (or maybe
two - I'll need to check) spare. I have an 8-port hub which I think, but not
completely convinced, is stackable. I've also got 4 x 5metre+ lengths of
cat5 cabling.

Comments & views chaps?

Cheers,
Colin

PS. If anyone is in the north-east I will have room in the car for maybe a
couple more people + PC's, it would help out on travel & split the costs
too.

I can probably "borrow" some net cards from work and can also make up
network cables if necessary and with some prior notice.

Matt.

Top stuff Matt. Hope your work doesn't mind cable & cards being 'borrowed'!
Couldn't go to a better cause though.

Do we have any concensus on a time & place. How about the San Marino race
weekend (7th, 8th, 9th April)?

oo oo I've just seen this, I'll definitely be up for it. I too can
supply cables and I can also bring some hubs with me (easy to daisy
chain).
