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.

Nice one, thanks Abi.  Here's the blurb for everyone to have a look at.  Please let me know what you think and suggest changes before we all send it out to people we think might be up for helping out/ performing.  If you could give me feedback before the weekend, that would be fab.  Then we can all send it out to friends this weekend and hopefully have some responses back for our meeting on the 1st.  Cheers.  Kx
