Jim - thanks. Will be in touch shortly.
Icarus - you are right again of course. No public blow-by-blow reports needed now since the repatriation has successfully happened thank God - and anyway not appropriate as you rightly point out. Well done for those you did post though.
With regard to cenralising the fund raising effort I would suggest that Mrs Gammage be consulted along with any other efforts that are happening. I will await further information on this. In the interim I will liase with Jim W.
