Wireless Camp?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I popped into the Innovation Centre a week or so ago and spotted some big banners for 'Wireless Camp'. My interest was piqued and I enquired within. Carphone Warehouse training event. Damn. That's so depressing. Anyone want to start a real Wireless Camp? I'll see what interest I can dredge ...
