[Swansea Hackspace] Daily Countdown (but working days not calendar)

[Ceri Clatworthy]

Are you going to specify bank holidays weekend etc.

If this is a ONE OFF  then it probably is going to be fairly simple.

But if it is for many events. . Bit more code.
Possibly a windows PC program to generate a data file on SD or simmla
