(Not in charge - see below - but ...)
The expo will be our big show for the autumn, let's budget accordingly.
What do we feel comfortable spendin? Some of this can go on merchandice
 - a recoverable cost (if we're selling things ;^) Some on the stand
(printing), and the rest on expenses. Then we can see if the volunteers
fit the expenses, and adjust accordingly :-)

Hmm, I'd assumed that Alex was running it. However as assumption is 
the mother of all cock-ups, let's check ;-)
Alex - given sufficient help, are you happy to be running this show? :^)
All I've done is to start to price mugs, and begin to think about
more info leaflets (not got very far with this). I'll be available
both days to help out. Will try to find free accommodation to keep
down expenses.
