  4. Interesting meeting alright.

    Yes, I didn't get to meet everyone either, especially those who are at the front of the pic on the Facebook page. Waving hello to you anyway - maybe we'll introduce ourselves at a future meeting :-)

    Ann (and Fi) I'll be in touch with you both re that article, once I know what questions I want to ask...later in the week.
