Kids Camp Netrek



Just thought I'd mention something interesting ...

A Christian organisation in Australia known as Scripture Union runs
computer camps for school age kids once a year.  This year's camp
about five to six weeks ago ran a couple of full Netrek servers, with 
compulsory training on strategy and mission plans, and had a fantastic 
response by the kids ... many preferring to play Netrek than the other
games available; Warcraft, Starcraft, Descent and a few others.

And it didn't involve me.  So I'm trying to fix that.

So it is entirely possible that we will start seeing a few more
Australian players dropping in, or that we'll find enough players to
justify having an Australian server again.
