Hi Aidan
I apologise if my observations have led to an unfortunate preception
regarding the input of FAST to his event and a flow of implied
criticism. I do have to say though that the fault lies with Laing and
Buisson, whose web page cleverly implies that you are in fact co-
sponsors.
regards
Jeremy
