Thanks Barry, indeed this local committee has done an excellent job in keeping the community and the Board uptodate with progress.
I also love the image of your smoky old blue Land Rover arriving: if it wasn't for the ocean, I would drive my old black Dodge Dakota into the EMCC car park, and you could hear the rumble as I arrive (loud exhaust ha). I'd park right beside your Land Rover. Looking forward to seeing you. -jeff On 2013-09-10 8:03 AM, Barry Rowlingson wrote: > About this time next week an old blue Land Rover will roll smokily > into the car park at the EMCC in Nottingham.
