Dear oh dear. This must be dreadful for Andy, if he is reading it. Can I draw attention to the absolute pearl in this thread:

Those of you who go regularly to Miskin will know this already and those who dont, I state this to hope it helps explain what I suspect is Andy's reticence to go into detail.
Andy and Jillie work bloody hard and pretty much single handed to organise this fantastic event, I have seen both Andy and Jillie at times almost in tears and stressed to the limit trying to keep on top of everything, they really do put their heart and soul into this event. At the moment, I think it is true to say that this heart has been broken and they are feeling exhausted, sad, empty and perhaps a little bitter. They need some time and space to heal, gather their thoughts, to face the fight for 2008. I am sure that Andy will, in the fullness of time let us all know what went wrong and why, but give them a little space, time and lots of love, I reckon they really need it right now, there is a plenty of time later for recriminations and an full autopsy!
Andy and Jillie, my thoughts are with you, Keep strong, hope to see you soon, with smiles on your faces.
Much love, Lucy


And can I congratulate Lucy on reflecting my views exactly?
