Dave et al,

Glad to hear you had a successful day at the Gala. I full inteneded coming up with my boys and taking part. I am in the oil business and haven't actually been offshore for about ten months but, (yes, you've guessed it!)as soon as I'd made the arrangements to visit.....no need to say any more! I am still offshore as I write this but departing today and coming up to Snekkie on Saturday. See you then probably.
