    * Do please be aware that we can't guarantee that the talks will
      happen at the times stated, but we will do our best to make sure they do.

    OTHER ACTIVITIES
    ================
      We have two lab areas, one opposite the main lecture room on the second
      floor, mostly used for chatting and accessing the Internet. There is
      also a larger lab down in the basement, room number LG17. There will be
      signs directing people there.

      People can also bring and setup their own machines. You can do this if
      you have something to show off, or you are looking for a solution to some
      problems. If your are bringing in your own machine, make sure you sign
      it in when you arrive, otherwise security won't let you take it when you
      go! We'll have monitors, keyboards, mice, and powerleads available. [So
      no need to lug all that stuff].

      We will have access to some of the latest iso images and some CD-Burners.

      If you decide to bring a PC, please have the serial number written down
      ahead of time, in case it needs to be registered at the ground floor
      Reception. We may also take a picture of you and your PC as proof of
      ownership or if it's real pretty :-).

      The two labs are the places you can go to, should you be looking for
      sanctuary away from the formal talks. If we're lucky the Refectory on
      the ground floor will have its food and drinks machines restocked.

    AFTER
    =====
      After the meeting, for those that want, the group will move off to
      'The Green Man' public house, opposite Great Portland Street Tube.
      Even if you were unable to make the daytime meeting, please feel
      free to join us at the pub. To help you find the pub have a look
      at the link on the website.
