I'm sure that those of us who are local(ish) to Cambridge should be able
to manage that by the end of the week -- could you give us more
specifics about what you're looking for, if you think we'll miss
anything 'behind the scenes' that we wouldn't otherwise have thought of?

Ralf, David, Matthew, Ian, others -- when would you be available? I
could make myself free to wander round Cambridge any time except
tomorrow morning, I believe. I'm not sure we need to go en masse, but
perhaps having more than one of us might be useful.
