Details are:

At: The Red Lion, Sutton,Near Newport (A519)

Hi Paul. I can't make the next meeting. My good wife has just booked us a week away on the Algarve. I've tried to get several government departments and a multitude of QUANGOs to pay for the week (researching the effects of hot sun, warm sea and excessive drinking on a gas fitter), but I obviously don't carry the clout that the Prof does.

Having just returned from Spain using the profs excess expenses which needed to be claimed before the new academic year I do sympathise. Have a good time!

Will hopefully be there!

But it depends if I have my new car back together in time (I couldn't help myself doing a few tweaks before getting it on the road rolleyes); unfortunately i'm waiting on some parts to turn up so my fate hangs in the balance of the suppliers spin

Hope to see you all there though! Rich
