Hi all, After with some deliberation with Peter Robson, we've come to a decision (I think!) ;) Please see below (a cba to type it all again ;P).
Basics, meet up at around 7 (which is when the reception *starts* to see if we can all get together for the party as well. If we can't all get in, the non-attendees will go to a pub behind the ICC (first on the right at the top of the stairs over the canal bridge), and wait for the rest to arrive later. What'ya think?

Yes, good idea Mark - lets go with that. Would you like to circulate? peter ps - if I recall conversations with Gerry, you are son-of, yes? And were responsible for your Cool web site, yes? I thought it was pretty good - I'm going to get some hints from you when we meet up...! Am running two myself, but strictly no frills. Both database.
