Thank you all for your help and information and the heap of PMs with info and invites.

I don't know if I will make this Auckland festival but hope so, it would be great to meet Gurney and Little Robyn after all these years.

I have only been to Wellington in January when the clubs are all shut for summer so maybe I will get down there once I have settled in.

I will have the kettle on waiting for you Splotty, Dame and Brian. Will you be at Katikati? That looks like it will be my local club.

Sandra - I may well hop the ditch one day and visit Oz.
