Word of Warning... Big thanks to all who came to last Friday's double bill - really enjoyable - and even bigger thanks to Mssrs Smith and DeDomenici for some great work. I'm a tad confused as my head's somewhere in the middle of next Spring... the time-travelling joys of programming... but there's definitely some exciting stuff lining up!
