I'm sure they would put it on their What's On Slot - tell them Rob from IT sent you. If you want to send a leaflet in, the person to speak to is Sarah Starling who is the administrator for Lantern FM. I wish there was something like this down in South Devon. As far as I know there used to be a computer fair in Newton Abbot but that was a few years back. When I lived in Derby there was a regular venue right round the corner from where I lived which was great for picking up those Sunday morning bargains. Devon certainly needs something like that so we can get near to web prices for hardware, software and consumable items locally. Anyway, hope this helps.
