Hi again,
I just thought it would be prevalent to say it's not too late to book your visit for next Thursday, however if next Thursday is not suitable for some of you contact me directly and I will gladly arrange a more suitable day and time for you on an individual basis.
If anybody knows of any members of the other local LUG groups and they want to come along by all means the more the merrier. Just let me know their details and I will get them booked in.
Barry Fox
Business Development Executive

Cheers,
Martin
