Re: CLUG Meeting Wednesday 2nd October-trouble shooting

[Ben Devine]

Mr Elder,
The only reason why i didn't use the registration address was bescause, I'm still not sure if i was going to be allowed to go. I din't want you to be expecting me there with a machine when I might not even be allowed to go. Sorry for any inconviences I may have caused.

Thanks
Ben
