UPDATE: we've not had many people confirm interest in this event yet, |
41 |
which is a shame. If you would like to join us for this session, |
42 |
please reply and let me know. If we don't get enough interest by the |
43 |
end of Sunday (28th August), then we'll have to cancel the meeting. |

Cheers, |
