Also a big thank you to all that attended, it's always good to see a full car park filled with car and a garden filled with Scopes.

Just 1 last THANK YOU to Kevin Smith for his very tasty BBQ last night and again this morning, we'll done Kevin and I hope you raise a lot for Barnardos..

Looking forward to the talks today and some more observing tonight, should the God's be kind enough to grace us again with clear skies.
