See below mail from ORG. Is anyone interested in the possibility of setting up a cryptoparty? Anyone from norwich2600 on the list with views? Is there likely to be a demand for such a party in Norfolk (or perhaps the wider Anglia region? Anyone with any similar experience (such as key signing parties)?

Dear Mick Morgan,
How can we protect our email, IM chat and web browsing from the prying eyes of GCHQ and the NSA?
Over the last few months we've learnt more and more from Edward Snowden and The Guardian about just how exposed our online communications are.
To help protect our online privacy, we're looking to help you put on a Cryptoparty in your local area. Could you be a key organiser for one near you? Reply to this email to let us know. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/cryptoparties
Cryptoparties are an easy and effective way to extend technical knowledge of encryption programs.
All they require is a venue with internet access and power sources. We're also looking for people who are happy to teach others how to use encryption tools such as PGP, OTR and Tor.
Are you able to provide this technical knowledge? Or are you keen to help organise the event?
If so, it'd be great if you could be a key organiser of a local Cryptoparty. Reply to this email to let us know you're interested. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/cryptoparties
We'll help you organise along the way and provide the essential materials to help make the event a success. There may already be an existing local ORG group in your area. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/groups/
If you'd like more information on how to organise a Cryptoparty, help can be found here: http://www.cryptoparty.in/organize/howto
If you have any questions on how we could support you further, then of course just email me on campaigns@openrightsgroup.org
So as Cryptoparty say - let's party like it‘s 31st December 1983!
Thanks and best wishes, Olivia
