Since the spring of 2003 when the project started, ( and even the
majority of 2002 whilst we planned what could be done ). The ict1301 project
was run at Buss Farm. This has now changed and the machine has moved to a new home, visit us often to find out the latest news now the machine has arrived.
The resulting media coverage has resulted in a swamp of new contacts so if we have not got back to you yet,
remember we are just two people trying to run all of this. Be patient and we will respond to all of you who wish us well.
