Hello John, long time no see

I was hoping to make it to Finches this year (not been for a few years) but I have a course on so I won't be able to get over sadly I might try and get over to the Devonshire in the evening to say hello maybe

I hope the weather holds out and you all have a good day

[SteveW]

I'll be up for the day. I may even be allowed to do it without the kids in tow..

Then again, maybe not...

Shame you'll miss it Dave, it would have been nice to meet a fellow BBer...

it's funny I had kept that weekend clear in my diary all year, but couldn't think why. Then I went and booked a student for the weekend as it was the only spare time I had before christmas! Oh well, next year

[John B]

Now you know why! Nice to see you still out about and surviving in the big wide world
