Guide Hamsters ?! John, what are you like! *LOL* (really!)Dai, that outline sounds fine.. 'cept we won't be able to hypnotise the hamster to keep it quiet and out of harm's way.
Re. the beer at York House, we could do as was done in the Institute at Llanstock: put a container by the barrel, into which people were free to put the odd pound coin as they were passing (while filling their glasses). This seemed to work ok- assuming the cost of the beer was covered?!
I do like the idea of the early start each day, we have to get the most we can out of a short weekend, don't you agree?
