Hi all,<br>
<br>
Apologies from Kat and I for not attending last night, been horrendously<br>
busy lately. We won't be able to make next month either (volunteering<br>
at a music festival in Hitchin, which means it isn't very economical to<br>
hire a car that weekend.)<br>
<br>
Fingers crossed for August!<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Yvan<br>
<br>
