Here you go, directions to Torrington.  The address is:

Torrington Interactive
2 Printing House Yard
London
E2 7PR

Printing House Yard is on the junction of Old Street, Shoreditch High St,
Hackney Road and Kingsland Road.  We are about 10-15 minutes walk from Old
St and Liverpool St tubes.

I have attached the official 'Directions to Torrington' PDF file.  However,
after 6:30 pm the gate on Hackney Road is closed and the only entrance is
through the back gates which are on Waterson St (the first road on the left
as you walk up Hackney Rd).

 30 people should be no problem, over 40 and it will probably start 
 getting a little personal.

That sounds OK. I suspect that unfortunately the attendance at this
meeting will be adversely affected by Damian being in town only a few
days later.

 And will there be net connectivity in the room? We can probably 
 get by without, but it would be nice to have.
 
 We have a 2meg line and we can make sure that there are a few ports 
 patched through from the boardroom.  We are also running DHCP so 
 people can get an IP if required.

Excellent. Let's call that a plan then.

Can you post directions to Torrington, and then I'll post an official
announcement.

Cheers,

Dave...

I'm assuming that Matt won't want to talk for the _whole_ evening :)
So anyone got a short talk they want to give as a support act?

Cheers,

Dave...

Related question:

What kit are we going to need for this? (projector, etc.).

Also what kit are we going to need for Damian's talk? (projector, PA, 
wireless microphones?)

I assume we'll need the usual. Projecter, Screen (or white wall!),
net connectivity. Can someone at Torrington please confirm which of
that list they can supply. Thanks.

I'll be able to answer that better after I've visited tomorrow. I 
strongly suspect that we'll be asking to borrow you prjector again tho'
Neil.

  Sorry, been busy all morning.  We can supply either a screen or a
  white wall, not sure which yet but we will supply one or the other.
  So if somebody else can supply the projector that would be good.

Thanks Matt. I guess we'll impose on Neil for his projector again, if
that's ok :)

No probs projector booked.

FWIW, damian has (IIRC) requested a vga connection for ny.

(will try to remember to confirm this at some point...)

Your best bet is to ask him.  That's what we did. :-)

I'll get Mr Cross to check then. Some of teh requirements are going to 
depend on the size of room we get. Something the size of the cinemas at 
the ICA and a PA and mics will almost be a necessity.

The room we're looking at holds 80-100 people, so that's borderline PA 
territory in my book.

And isn't the VGA connection a requirement for the projector? Or the 
laptop? Or something other than the room itself?

Confused?

My assumption is that that describes what is needed to connect the
projector and laptop.

I just had him talk to the tech people himself. :-)

I'll admit my message wasn't well written. What I meant was that if 
the room was titchy we wouldn't need a PA, etc. Might need a VGA 
extension cable regardless as the one on the projector isn't 
extremely long.
