Yeah thats true. Most people had a medium sized tray that they kept emptying.To be honest Tina if you think you are going to be able to drag a trolley through the crowds I think you are going to have great difficulties. I think the best you can do is to run very fast backwards and forwards to your room while we educate Baz in the delights of Belgian Beer!

But Roy, would we have time for that? With Tina on the prowl we'll have to be very quick on our toes to make sure we get what we want before she clears the place (:D

Hi Hugo,

They're the only ones on their edge with the marbled paper boards. Whatever they are, the bindings look interesting.

Julie
As long as he doesn't change his mind about the trip I'm not worried.

Still not heard from Daphne & I emailed her wednesday 5th Sept, should I be worried ?.
Do previous ELK bookings get priority ?.
Tina

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

Not neccesarily Tina. Bear in mind from what I understand she is on the ELK committee so she may well have been there a day or two in advance and they were meeting sunday afternoon and so may well have not returned home untill yesterday. And on past experience of E-mailing her she does not check her mail daily.
