If anyone is in tune with the wind gods, now may be the time to pull
strings. The long range forecast is not looking too flash. We will make
the call on Thursday night, let me know if you need a text.

On a positive note, we can book out the café by the beach for prize giving,
but do need to know numbers that want to stay for a meal after. Let me know
BEFORE Thursday (weather dependant of course)
