I agree with Alex. I will vote positively to fund an exhibition pack, in 
line with a budget proposed by Alex. But before we get there, I'd like 
to see someone work out the costs of creating the material. Ie go out 
and get some quotes.

Willy, Jo,

Jo,
Are you still interested in getting funding for a UK starter kit?
