[HacktionLab] Final details for BarnCamp 2017

[BarnCamp]

[This message is going to everyone who's registered and to the 
hacktionlab list, so you may get two copies]


Hi everyone,

Thanks for registering for this year's BarnCamp rural DIY skill-sharing 
event. This message is to remind you of a few details before you come. 
The list of proposals for workshops etc. is looking awesome, but 
remember that the timetable is flexible so you can still offer to lead 
(or collaborate on) a session when you turn up.

The forward crew are packing and loading today, and we'll be at the farm 
from tomorrow afternoon. Remember when you arrive to come and say "hi" 
at the welcome desk, so we all know who's on site. This is important 
because it's a DIY event and we need to make sure that everyone has an 
opportunity to link in with work and play that's already going on, and 
to make sure the right amount of food gets cooked. You will need to know 
either your six-digit registration code or the email address you signed 
up with (preferably both).

If you haven't paid yet, remember to bring £40+ cash with you. You'll 
probably also want some change to spend at the bar. Do not ask for 
credit as a prolonged discussion of the nature of debt under late 
capitalism may offend.

Our main contact number this year is 01600 888298 - active from Thursday 
morning to Sunday evening.


Top tips for first-timers and people who don't go camping much
==============================================================

  - There will be places on your journey and on the farm where you can't 
get a mobile phone signal, let alone a data connection, so it's 
essential to print off or write down your travel instructions and our 
contact details before you leave home:

       https://hacktionlab.org/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm
       https://hacktionlab.org/BarnCamp_2017_Contact

  - Bring full waterproof gear and strong shoes, even if the weather 
forecast says it'll be sunny

  - Bring some spare warm clothes as it gets cold at night. None of our 
structures are insulated or heated.

  - Bring any medicinal stuff you may need, even if you don't use it 
regularly e.g. stuff for allergies, insect repellent, sun block

  - Bring a small waterproof bag so you can get your electronics from 
your tent to the barn if it's rainy


Cheers folks, see you there!
