Great Bob, but what a shame it will be if you can't get to Snalbans. Here's hoping you can.

Anyway, moo, if I don't see you before that weekend, I'll be around from Thursday, and I shall endeavour to wear my Mudcat badge most of the time. We're intending to camp in the area between the pub and the river, probably along a bit - not right opposite the pub. And if you see someone with the handle "jack halyard", that will be my SO John Warner. If you find him, I can't be far away.

Now should we arrange a mudcatters meeting somewhere, like we do at the National? Maybe it could be a similar loose arrangement - like 1pm on any day we are free, at the tables and chairs near the food area in front of the Barn. How does that sound? That's where I often finish up around lunchtime anyway.
