Dave - Excellent plan and going on Adam's idea, I've put together a quick spreadsheet that we can just stick what people are going to bring (save lots of emails flying about)? The link is: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqMlo1nMj-tydHFLQTd6VmlaUFpTQ2lR... If you have any issue with the link, let me know.
