Karen if you do the call out blurb but I'll get in touch with other cnn people and see who's up for what...
I'm also up for helping organise the bar (mead!) and probably cooking some food too (honey biscuits?)
Not sure how much time I'll have for actually making stuff like decor and costumery due to my studies and other committments, but I'll help with getting the space ready when it comes to it.
