HI Douglas, All exciting stuff and well done for organising it all!! Please can you copy and paste the Heritage Western Cape information or send us all a link as it didn't come through to the list (perhaps there is a rule against attachments?).
I hope to make the next meet up. Or the Open Book one. Both sound great.
