It's likely that if I get the right moment, I may be able to sweet-talk Chris to help me out in sweet-talking the staff for something else at the playing fields in the South, although we are a little late for Summer now, unfortunately. First Weekend of the October Break? I shall do my best to get in touch with some local people, see if I can source an alternate local venue.
