When the discussion of the 10th afp birthday meets was begun : I offered to arrange something
for the Yorkshire area for the weekend of February 2 (alomost ten years to the day from the RFC)

As some will know, I managed to smash my left kneecap on Christmas Eve and am now facing a long road to full mobility.  So my plans
for my afp birthday meet have been somewhat thrown into disarray

However, I'd be happy to have a limited meet at my house on that weekend and folks are very welcome
to visit for the day or indeed stay (despite the rearrangements to accomodate my injury there still
is limited crash space available)

So if in the unlikely event of anyone interested in a meet-the-mending-hippo meet
please e-mail

If there is any interest, I'll post an announce in the usual fashion a little later.

Once again, I'd like to thank the whole (#)afper community for all their support
following my accident. Two people in particular deserve warm thanks (and a least
on free drink at future meets :-) ) for their exceptional friendship.

I think they know who they are.
