Jon,

What did you do to upset someone.
You go to a DSC, and suddenly they are reduced to Bi-Monthly after 53 years of Monthly camps.

WHAT DID YOU DO?????????????

I won't be able to host the Imaging Session on the 10th May as I will be on a European road trip on that day. I would appreciate if somebody else could host this one so if you are willing to volunteer please let us know. Thanks.

If we can change it to Sat 11th May then you're welcome to come down to High Halden for an imaging night.

Mark is no longer able to host the evening on Saturday 11th May as he is off to join the French Foreign Legion.

Robert are you still willing to host it on Friday 10th May ?

Nothing wrong with you creating a uDSC if you want. It would have to be at Blacklands though.
