Excellent stuff!

I'm planning to be there on Friday evening if we can get access, although
can I suggest that the cabling plan and droplead plan is done by the Monday
of that week so we know who's doing what, what's being cabled, where, etc.?
I'll await further comments on my initial email.

It's more that stuff requires tweaking for Econet use anyway in quite a few
cases - just copying stuff over hasn't always worked, and we've relied on
that before.

I'm trying to make sure we don't have repeated rounds of removing things
from menus because 'they don't work over Econet' (recalling Ian and
Jonathan's efforts trying to get bits working at the Stoke and Wakefield
shows).

I may be heading over there this weekend, I'll do a quick recce of the
place as well and see where we might be able to string cabling without too
much hassle. Cedar Court Wakefield have a 'no gaffer tape near the
dancefloor' rule for DJs, so I guess we have to assume that applies to us
as well.
