By all means a few nibbles would not go amiss so if anyone would like to
bring along a few biscuits and soft drinks they'll be welcome. We can
supply tea and (instant) coffee!!

Partners, drivers and children over about 7 are welcome, our place is not
far off being a working farm so children will have to be supervised.

Those people not interested in the geeky stuff may like to make use of the
pool - no guarantee of the temperature with this dull weather though
(although the water was over 30C at the weekend).

The weather forecast is still changing by the day having gone from sunny
hot nor'wester to showers and cloudy so be prepared!!

See you there (here!!)
