[Wolves] CANCELLED - Meeting at the Royal Tiger, Wednesfield

[Adam Sweet]

Hi Baden

Nice to hear from you :) Hopefully we'll get something up and running
soon, it would be good to include you. Where are you roughly? We could
always hold a meeting to near you once people are circulating again.
I've been trying to move us around a bit to encourage some of the lurkers.
