Hi Saul & All,
Do people still want to meet on the 13th then? or is it better to
postpone? I have to say that in terms of concrete developments (other
than the re-furb) we haven't done much lately... and several of our
folks can't make it on the 13th either... 19th/20th? it's the
Manchester bookfair on the 19th so if folks were headded up for that we
could meet on the 20th... the central european ideas are really
interesting - definitely want to hear more...
Thoughts? Obviously we're still more than eager to see you all on the
13th if you can make it... but if it's not easy we could re-arrange...
