[Klug-general] Geeka Masala Tours To Maidstone

[rich-ayres at tiscali.co.uk]

I should be around on that day and am happy to take part. My usefulness 
would be confined to taking notes as I have no expertise at all. Even 
my beer drinking ability will be impaired by the drive back to 
woodchurch!. Incidentally I tried to attend the last meeting at  
Conference rooms witherspoons but not realising the size and popularity 
of the place never made contact with the group. Even the bar staff 
seemed totally unaware of any meeting, and as I know no-one by sight I 
gave up.
I hope that clear instructions on how to get to the proposed meeting 
will be available, as abortive trips to Maidstone is an outlay  that my 
limited budget can ill afford.
regards Rich
