Hey Sydney and Melbourne teachers,

I'm looking to run some workshops in Sydney and Melbourne within the next
month or so - (ok just want some bloke time in the big cities hehehe) but
I've suddenly found myself very, very short of a venue.

(insert long boring story here)

I'm wondering if someone as one lab and a collection of say 20 laptops or
ideally 2 labs that they could spare for a day or two.  In return, you'd
get 3 or 4 of your teachers to attend the sessions each day.

If you even think it might be a possibility or know someone who might be 
able to help drop me a message. 

cheers

Adrian

PS I'm hoping to run something like this.
