Well done Chris. It occurred to me that the wifi signal would be always on, 
so I think we could arrange to have the room booked for the extra half hour, 
ie up to 9.30.  This may apply at any CAP so I'm wondering whether we could 
go to the South Wye place and book a room to ourselves at a time when the 
CAP isn't functioning. South Wye is possibly best for our access by our 
members.
