Re: [Dfey-nw-discuss] Young Rewired State

[Tim Dobson]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the heroic efforts last night - we have 13 people (I think - 
I haven't counted!) signed up via DFEY to go to YRS.

A pat on the back is deserved by Robert Leverington who pretty much 
singlhandedly most of your journeys and did a considerable amount of 
research. Thanks Robert :)

I've setup a wiki page of stuff to bring, please take a look and edit it 
as you see fit:
http://dfey.org/wiki/London,_August_2009/Stuff_to_bring

If you want to start a page
http://dfey.org/wiki/London,_August_2009/Ideas
of cool ideas of projects to do at YRS that'd also be cool. :)

I'll try and email out individual confirmation emails to everyone by 
tomorrow morning with information of exactly how you will be travelling

Unfortunately, our internal deadline has now passed in terms of 
arranging travel and accommodation and I'm informed by YRS that they are 
now oversubscribed.
If you would still like to go please contact YRS by 
http://www.rewiredstate.org/young ASAP - it's out of our hands now.

If you have any questions that we can help with, please email address@hidden

Thanks,

Tim
