[Committee] A couple of things

[Stephen Rowley]

Dear All,

Hope you had a good Easter.  I am in Spain at the moment but hope we can all
meet up some time next week to discuss our activities for the coming
months.  I guess there are a number of things to talk about.  Maybe
Wednesday evening would be a good time?  Have a think about it. We can
decide exactly when and where to meet nearer the time.

Bye for now,
Stephen
