[HLUG] Wednesday Meeting at The Grange

[Dr Chris Owens]

Hi Everybody

Many belated apologies to everyone, unlike David I had forgotten about 
the Grange Meeting but did want to come. I hope it went well.

However like Dave I had a whole download of messages for the group this 
morning - I think about the last 8-10 posts dating back 2-3 days. Being 
a bit of a novice I have to ask how does this come about (apart from the 
obvious of not picking up messages).

All the best

Chris
