[Committee] Poster

[S.J. Stretton]

Hey,
Sorry to people that have already bought tickets (Amy). Hopefully its
possible to change the tickets to earlier.
As far as the general list is concerned, we've asked people to email us for
transport
so hopefully that problem is minimized.
I think it will be a lot of fun going bright and early at 8:30am for 11 in
London and less crowded than later. It still gives us an opportunity to get
the media involved.
See you this lunchtime at King's 1pm-2pm.
Steve
