Sam,

Well done and thanks for the effort you put into organising this event. Once again a very enjoyable weekend with the added bonus that it was warmer this year and even the rain held off during the day! We should perhaps also thank Graham Lee for making such a splendid and interesting venue available to us all. Just a year to wait to do it all again!

All the best,

Paul.
