Angela and I thoroughly enjoyed our selves, a big thank you to the organisers. On a negative note, Angela's cold has turned out to be covid! I tested negative last night but I'm not feeling too bright this morning. I test again this afternoon and report back. Sorry.

Great to see you both, and to have you riding shotgun in Herman on Saturday - a rare treat (& I hope Angela recovers soon, and your case of it is mild...)

The hotel did not include dinner in any of our bills, could I ask those of you who had dinner on Saturday to contact the hotel to settle the remainder of your bill please.
