Re: DIGRA

That's good news -- I'd approached them about a year or so ago about 
SIGs. It would be nice to have a triple sponsored SIG with the 
understanding that we all work as one unit so that we don't end up 
with a mass communications breakdown!!! I know that IGDA works with 
DIGRA quite closely so I don't see expanding being a problem. I'll 
contact them about it so we can get this on the way!

Who still has to arrange Brighton too but is definitely going...I'm 
just not sure whether I'll be swimming there or not.
