    I'm still trying to arrange an on-call swap so that I can attend, but no-one's 'playing ball'!

    I'm going to have to resort to threats of violence I think.

    Hi Shane,

    If ever you'd like to break your journey and stop over in Bristol on route and return to make one of these events, please let me know. I'm sure I could accommodate you.

    Best wishes,

    Greg

    Thanks Greg, that's very kind of you. Right now I can't take the time out but hopefully I'll be able to get to some of the events next year and may take you up on that.

    Hi Shane,

    No problem. If we plan we can combine travelling and costs also, keeping it all nice and cheap. I'll wait on you to connect accordingly, but please realise the offer stands.

    Best wishes,

    Greg
