Dear spiders,
It is really unfortunate that the wire class by Lenka is cancelled
after everything was organized and it reminds me of the same 'disaster'
happening last year in Prag. Indeed, Lenka's class was the first one
filled for the OIDFA congress and then it was cancelled. For people
of work and I appreciate the detailed instructions.
