It's inevitable that it will clash with other events, but the concert will always be at the same time of year. The date is none of our choosing, but August 25th 2006 is when, after a short and horrible illness, our dear friend Carmen Gruwez died in Reningelst - we will celebrate her life with music and good company.

"Overnight" is pretty likely to be included, Henry. It'll be nice to see you, though I doubt that I'll be short of delicious beer. Try a Trappist bier from the (local) Westvleteren monastery if you can - first amongst equals in my opinion!

Tot ziens
