			* Batteries were depleted. Oops.
	* ~~Our usual demos --- PiSSTV, HF rig with Graeme's End-fed Zepp~~		* It was cold. Good.
	* ~~New demo --- morse code stuff, with morse key and IC-7000, let people sign their names in morse~~ and ~~then pick them up on the FT-920~~.		* Biscuits and digestive biscuit sandwiches are delicious.
	* ~~Murray forgot his netbook~~		* Only made a couple of contacts. We should have entered the contest...
	* Morse ~~code worked really well~~		* Tried to use Morse's table, but they couldn't figure out how to assemble it.
	* ~~Plan for computers with audio input~~		* Used the end-fed Zepp. Tried to use Henry's Pro whip, it didn't work. Would work quite well to set up a wire HF dipole between two trees. That would be cool.
	* ~~Composite monitor could~~ have ~~been cool (for radio screen output)~~		* Didn't have enough chairs, but had a bench.
	* Arihant has an idea to get a load of ECS societies to join in a mini treasure hunt or something, ~~with~~ a ~~small prize if they collect clues at all of them~~.		* We could do with a weight for throwing things into trees, or a drone ;)
	* HF contest going on		* NEED MALLET!!!!!!!!
	** We ~~got quite~~ a ~~few contacts (just giving out points~~)
