Regretfully I will not be able to attend. Wife booked a last minute deal for an overseas holiday during this date. Otherwise would have loved to come.
Many thanks Pierre for going to the trouble of again organising the event this year. It is usually a great day and there is much to be learnt for anyone wanting to be involved in the lighting fun.
