Editorial March 2009

Written by Jonnyboy

An interim editorial just to remind people that if you have signed up for the Downsizer food weekend, then payment will be required shortly, hopefully you have received a PM and everything is self explanatory, however if you have any last minute queries then please reply to your PM or contact a moderator.

If you haven't yet made your mind up to attend then now is the time! There is still some camping space available, and hopefully the recent fine weather will extend into April and ensure we all have an enjoyable time.
