Thanks Mick. It does seem a bit frustrating that people organising such a important event seem to think the comments on the forum are too time consuming to warrant a reply.
What point is there writing in to a bi monthly magazine when the event takes place before the issue that would answer the questions asked?
So all the hype about the 40th birthday bash was not for the newer members who have no idea on what or how events get run and do not realise they are limited to a few.
