thanks to Janet and Kim Hawtin there is good artwork for flyers and  
posters, so once we have details on the stand I will make sure there  
are posters for it and flyers as well. I'd like to do also do some  
flyers to advertise HUMBUG, does anyone have artwork for the logo  
that we use, that way I good do some posters for HUMBUG as well. I  
was just going to lift info from the HUMBUG website.
