OK. Bowing to pressure from the heretics - we'll go to the Anchor next Thursday. Never let it be said that I don't listen to the little people :) Can someone product a set of simple instructions on how to get there. And the only suggestion I've had so far for the technical meeting on the 19th

Happy

I'm very happy this afternoon. I've just seen a copy of my book on a shelf in a bookshop[1]. That's the first time I've seen it in the wild. Of course, I'd have been happier if someone had been buying it :) Dave... [1] It was Books etc. at Monument if anyone wants to rush out and buy it!

Next social meeting is just over a week away - April 5th - and we don't have a confirmed venue. What happened to the plan that someone (mstevens?) was going to try to book the cellar bar in the Cittie of Yorke? Anyone else want to take on that task? Or have another suggestion? Or shall we just
