Jim,
Alas, I cannot be there on the March today. I've gone down with shingles on a facial nerve and my balance is shot - which means wine consumption has to be restricted too.
I will be with you all in spirit,
Graham
Bravo, Jim!
We did the one in March 17 and it was fantastic. Of course it didn't get the publicity that it should have. Let's hope the March moves us closer to a peoples vote.
