I am on the scrounge. As you maybe aware we are running more lecture streams at the Show this year than we have done in the past. This year we have an precedented number of lecturers using powerpoint and therefore we fine ourselves in the position of requiring more up-to-date equipment than in the past. Whereas a few years ago we could have got away with overhead projectors now everyone wants to use powerpoint and data projectors. Using our usual technique of begging and borrow (I draw the line at stealing) we have acquired the use of five but it still leave us one machine short. If there is someone out there, that we haven't already approached, who has a machine or knows of the whereabouts of one would they please get in touch with me. If all else fails then we will have to hire one for the day at a cost of about £250 John Hanson Chairman, Family History Show Working Party Please reply to ~ john.hanson@one-name.org
