    I was thinking of a hand-sewing workshop (making drawstring bags or stuffed felt creatures of some sort) and an electro-sewing workshop, depending on interest levels.

    I had been thinking of a Lilypad microcontroller workshop, but I'm not going to have time to get the supplies and everything together before hand, so that will have to be pushed out to sometime in the future.

    A photography workshop sounds great! As does CTF, and the night of talks, and.. and... *sigh* I'm going to kept busy again.

    The guy who runs those events is off at CCC camp, I'll enquire when he gets back. I recall him claiming to be very busy, but he loves the subject so maybe he can convinced to do something :)

    I just wanna say that TOG is well worth a lookin. I was back home in dublin for a week, there a while back and stopped in once. people there were friendly and helpful regarding my queries about electronics and computer security. Took the time to show me around and was made to feel very welcome.

    GL with open day.

    SD.
