Summer 2007 Work

This page exists for discussing the work which SOWN will be undertaking over the summer. The majority of the work will be carried out by Paul Dart our ECS Employed intern. This pages has been divided into several sections covering the work required. Feel free to expand on the points to list equipment which should be purchased and the approx costs/suppliers. These will be talked over at the weekly meeting before orders are placed.
