HI Huw,
Sorry about the mis-spellings. I think it must be an email spell check thing, as I copied it carefully from the website in the Word document.
My apologies!
Sorry you can't come. It is in a weird place and being the first day at school for many it's not good timing either. We will be a small band methinks.
Hope all is good with you - we here at NLS are, as ever, in interesting times...
Best wishes
Paula
