Very sorry to hear that Brian, I hope it all works out ok, goes without saying that family comes above everything else at times like this.

Very sorry to hear that Brian.
I may be willing to take Brian's bakeoff over at my place in Liverpool dependent on interest, even if it's just a music day. I know Brian well, I'm sure he'll approve.
Please post prospective interest and I will confirm when I have given it some thought.

Very sad to hear of your predicament. As Richie said you have to prioritise and you have made the right decision. I hope that if you ever organise another bake off I will do my best to get there. I was going to hitch a ride with Rich but as it turns out it would have been my weekend to work. I hope all is well with your dad and that you are coping ok.

I'm still heading West that weekend to drop some kit off for a mutual associate so I might try and get over that way.
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

Thanks to all for the messages of support. Both here on this thread, and by PM. It is much appreciated.
That weekend turns out to be the best time for me to go up to Scotland after all, so is the one Im going up.
I had been hoping to get along to Geoffs if it suited me, but that now cant happen either, sadly.
So, just to add my encouragement to all those undecided about going to Geoffs............... JUST GO !!!!!!!!!!!
He is a great host and his house is superb for this kind of thing. I look forward to reading all about the day. And also to meeting you all some other time.
Thanks again

I saw Geoff a couple of weeks ago when he sorted my arm and cart out for me. At the time he said he would be sorting out another bake off at some point soon. Not seen any further details / confirmation yet tho.
