I see that the information, and links to a map and Streetmap, is not
there, thanks.  Off the A41 is easy for me...

Hmm, that prompted me to look up your hosts, Positive Internet, of
whom I had never heard.  They can't be bad, they're using Debian (and
seem to be an all GNU/Linux shop).  They don't say where their equipment
is (although since their contact is London, presumably there).  I've
bookmarked them for future reference...

Well, I got to www.affs.org.uk by guesswork (I couldn't remember which
suffix it had).

Hmm, I'm not yet a member, if I send in my membership this weekend will
I get in?  Or can I join on the door?
