I hope a few Mudcatters will be coming, but please could you PM me to let me know if you plan to be there if you haven't already done so.

Hi Matthew,
If all 50 attendees are coming to the morning session that's about 2 minutes each. Going to be difficult keeping the windbags in order.

Re library's broadside collection, it might be useful to let us know in advance a rough idea of quantity, date range and locality of printing.
