And the Mexican Blackberry Bramble

Wot eez this?

I am doing the dessert (brambles) and the events process (computers, phones). Anne-Marie is doing the Main course (foraging) and the events on the day board (the evil boards, napkins etc). Don't worry about the 'why we doing this' as I think it will change over mon & tues. I put the text on the blog (previous post) anyway. 
Also going on the blog in a minute is the actual places of local food on the menu in case anyone is doing a map (which might be a good idea). (see below: very impressive productive local environment I think, well done Hen!)
We now have to think a bit about the whole series of boards and try to make them make sense a bit and work together. The currency is kg/co2 i.e. a numerical score which you should leave room for on your designs. There won't be alot of it but there is probably more text if you need it to fill. For this to have meaning we are considering a separate board of comparisons which Jamie the calculator should supply on MOn or Tues and this may have to go on a separate board. A legend of comparisons. A sliding scale allowing us to see what 10kg, 100gk or 10,000 kgs is equivalent to (flights, shopping trips etc).
Finally we are not quite sure yet what there will be besides write up the guests' travel on the might but it might be nice if you Ben or both of you wanted to dress up as white-coated mathematicians. There will probably be Lucy Orta aprons as well or as alternatives. Meanwhile you should be sitting down and eating I think!

Ps on this bottom doodle there is a 'trail smail' which I think was Ben's suggestion of how to represent the comparison of carbon miles (or anything really). The left hand side represents the miles the Mexican bramble travels to Launceston and contrast with the mouses tail of travel for the local variety. Make sense? I can explain.
