Robin, could you take me off the food / eating list please. Due to work, I'm now in Cheltenham on Thurs and probably not back until late.
I hope to still come but I'm likely to be a rather late arrival!
Cheers 
....No problem, Phil.
The number on the list is just to make sure I book enough space for us regardless of who eats or doesn't eat or how late they manage to come

The weather in most places has turned chilly and it could even rain and so I don't think this is the right meet for booking outside this time. We need to be in a more settled sunny spell, so perhaps next month.
Unfortunately I'm now not going to be able to attend but have booked it and will continue to liaise.
