As discussed at last week's board meeting, the chapter has been given a £500 grant to fund the purchase of a computer to help with outreach work. As per previous discussions, it would be useful to have a projector at the same time so that we can do presentation on the go.

I've had a look on the internet and this is the best deal I can find:

£199 - Dell Inspiron Mini 10 V (http://www1.euro.dell.com/uk/en/home/Laptops/laptop-inspiron-10/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-inspiron-10&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&~oid=uk~en~20211~laptop-inspiron-10_n00b1001~~)

£11.99 - Laptop bag (http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?cs=ukdhs1&l=en&c=uk&sku=A2568188&price=11.99)

£285 - Dell M109S On-the-go projector (http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/projector-dell-m109s?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1)

£30 delivery

Total - £496

Comments appreciated!
