[dfs3] Nice one!

[Simpson, Mick]

Hi,
Thanks to everyone for making Saturday such a success. I will forward photos when I have sorted the good ones out but in the meantime I would like to write a brief article that can be included in all relevant publications and blogs. Does anyone have the logos of the affiliated organisations that were on the flyers especially Transition Durham, NELUG and the colour DFS3
Cheers

All the best
Mick

Hi All,

Thank you for your support yesterday. I think that it went well. A follow up meeting would be great but probably not until after the main holiday season.

I am interested in learning about items 1 & 2.
I can help with, or organise something around, items 3 & 5.

I cannot commit to anything during August or the first half of
September:- moving house, wife starting her new job, etc.

Mick,
Would you please share the pictures that you took yesterday so that we can put a couple on the DFS3 blog?

Regards,
Barry T
