  Well ere need to come up with 3 really attractive topics (which wont be covered elsewhere on the  ABprogramme). We have enough money in the pot to pay for the one meeting they want money for- I will be solvent in 3 weeks  STEVE

  I dont know if my last pst made it  but I am NOT available to help with any of the 3 meetings
