Back home now so can reply. Wifi I was using when away wouldnt accept replies, it was blacklisted.? I thought you'd booked for the Straightliners show in February not the RWYB. Crossed wires due to timing of earlier replies

I'm booked for Saturday, Al, Tony if you want to stay over let me know. I'm about 25 miles from Elvington
