Dear all,

I hope that you are all well. At last a day of warm temperatures and sunshine. Perhaps Spring has finally arrived. Belinda’s recent message about the various events coming up, including the Southampton curry, has prompted to also send out my personal reminder to you as regulars, as I usually do about this time ahead of the event.
