If anyone is going by boat from Hull - I'm trying to make the gathering the starting (or final) point of my annual holiday, probably going to Hull from Belgium, so I could give someone a lift one way (some two if one of them is prepared to spend the drive stretched out on the mattress in the back!). Looking forward to seeing you all again, particularly MudGuard who plied me with excellent food and fresh air in Munich last month and who still hasn't got his 'thank you' mail! Thank you, Mudcat!
