Thanks for your replies and apologies for the delay replying my end. Genuine smile my end at your responses - happy to hear. I did actually join one of the webinars this year and did ask a question, so you may have seen me

I have heard of one or two who are also older than me so definitely don't rule it out due to your age!
I appreciate the comment, logistically it would be near impossible for me. I live in Dudley, my wife is a practice nurse, we have 2 kids (6 & 9) - I couldn't ask for all to move towards London (even if we could afford it). Yes a little bit of negativity (probably why I'm still reading/posting 15 years on ) . On the flip side, I'm fortunate to WFH and for those local, you might see me at Halfpenny Green sometime soon when I stop making excuses Hopefully my comments will come as a lesson for those younger, make it happen before life catches up with you.

Good luck to you all, hopefully you can be flying me away on a trip in a few years
