I presume the slides will be completed before the tutorial? My mention of
cost is that I can take that work on the night if need be at print stuff
up at work, but I would have to pay for it. This would also let us 'print
on demand' so we didn't do excess copies.

In that case please write a php script that produces all of the slides to
one 'page' to make printing easier.

                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It can hardly be a misconception when a HUMBUG 'talk' is typically a
tutorial style event, not a lecture.

Interesting. I'll leave pedagogy of that for discussion at the meeting.

Cheers,
