You're welcome Neil. Since September last year you've been planning this trip (your post on page 1) so you deserve a place!

Hi all,

Myself and she, who must be listened to but not obeyed, will be there but we are already on the guest list for the unveiling. So that opens up two places , Can i suggest that they go to Ronald who is anxious to have two of his friends in attendance and has been diligent in his promotion of the memorial fundraising !

I'm sorry Padraig, but those 2 places will then go to "rutschris" (Christel Ruts) an her husband, they were on the reserve list and I must give priority to forum members.

thank you for your continuing friendship and support, padraig. much appreciated. but I sorted things out with the organisers and all of us five will go to the unveiling that day although two of them will need to help a bit before the ceremony itself. but that's okay. I'm sure they will be glad to help out on this important day.

but again my friend, thank you very much for this gesture. :tinhat34
