Ok, after a bit of reassurance I'm back in the game, see you guys on Sunday.
Nice one, Ken. Glad you're still coming
Apologies for my earlier heavy-handedness! I just wanted to ensure that certain unwanted 'no-lifes' didn't spoil the day. I'm sure that Ollie will handle things impeccably in my absence.
Yup, unfortunately folks, due to holiday commitments, I won't be able to be come to the bake-off. Ollie already knew that before I posted my message earlier, so just thought I'd now make it 'official'. I'm sure it'll be an excellent day, and I look forward to seeing all the pics!
Marco.

I'm John.
After reading the conditions for attending, I have a friend who visits shows with me. He would like to attend with a Custom Built MM Vlve Phonostage as my guest, if his Sunday work commitment is cancelled on Friday.
I have told him I would enquire first before he brings any equipment.
John as I know you to be a most affable chap you are more than welcome to bring your friend and his valve phono stage along. Look forward to seeing you again.
