I missed some of you at Yandles this time, where were you? It was nice though to have time to have a chat with John Montgomery who is my regional rep and Derek Puplett the new secretary. I had a catch up with Paul Hannaby and as always it was very pleasant to see Shiela Hughes the Rev's editor. The AWGB stand looked very good with a nice display of work on it. We did have some rain but nowhere near as bad as it was forecast (never is). I also met some of the regular members of the forum who have become friends over the years and that is always nice . Although I was representing the RPT this time I did have the opportunity to have a wander and I even watched some demos, spent more than I usually do but got some real bargains too. A good weekend.
