I enjoyed both talks and it was a really good night. You're a much better
public speaker than you give yourself credit for Andy, I thought you did
well, Simon too!

I'll have a look at the recordings tonight and see what I can do. They
probably need minor editing and some processing to make the audio sound as
good as possible, but it won't be a massive job. (he says optimistically)

Should be a good talk, looking forward to that one.

I forgot to talk to you about the Christmas/5th Birthday bash last night. I
was talking to some of the folks in Manchester and they're interested in
coming over for the event, if it's on a weekend. Apparently traveling on a
week night is a problem for them. I reckon we should have a meal somewhere
and then some drinks afterwards. A Saturday night would be perfect. The
Everyman Bistro is good for food and drink, it's good value, it's open quite
late (2am I think) and it's very comfortable. I think you can even book an
area with some reserved tables for a party if you want. I know some people
who've done that and I can investigate if you want? That would be my
suggestion at the moment but others might have better ideas :)

I'll let you know about the recordings later when I have them uploaded
somewhere, see ya

Dan
