Hello,

This is by way of an intro.

You will be please to hear that Andreas hat is on its way.

Lin the game on the phone was Defender (remember that game?) and we can announce that Dean is the galactic champion, followed closely by GJS and Dave.

I too thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thanks to Roger and team for their hospitality, and to Dean for his generosity at the bar and with the ..... spiff. Hey Roger, Vendors could win Juniper spiff! (Another story)

It was great to get to meet you all and I look forward to doing the same online.

Regards
