Excellent work!  My hat off to you for finally getting this sorted :)

That seems quite dear: I'm going to go back to Oxford Green Print as I  
said and get a competitive quote for us to compare.

Nice.

Finances are here:  
http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/HacktionLab_pot

Not much in the pot.  Back in Oxford those of us there agreed to fund  
the printing ourselves - but this was printing a much smaller format  
booklet (A6 I think) and the costs came to less than 100 quid.  Again,  
I'll check that with oxford green print.

So no I don't think the pot can cover it, else we have no funds left  
for anything else, it'll need to be self-funded imho.
