Re: [edlug] Donateing CD's to Edinburgh Council

["Bob Kerr" <robertnkerr@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

I am provisionally hoping for the end of next week. I will be handing in my 
letter to the council to the chambers so I can easily do a second trip if 
needed.

After donating the CD's to the council I will then be donating them to every 
member of the Scottish Parliament. So if Edlug wishes to add a letter to 
that donation that is fine too.My thoughts are that the first letter would 
be a trial run for the Scottish Parliament letter. I will be sending my own 
letter but I will only be acting as a postman for the Edlug letter.

I know it takes a while to discuss something like this on the list

so we have got lots of options and no pressure for any fixed deadlines at 
the moment

Cheers

Bob
