Dave,
Good stuff.
Can I suggest that a social is held after the next meeting for anyone who is
interested in the ITWG.
If anyone doesn't know the basement - it was (and hopefully will be again)
aone of the best cafe venues in Manchester and a working example of FS in
action in a real/public environment. the suite was pretty much constantly in
use.
