[noborders-brum] [brum_fnb] No Borders

[Steve & Tamsin Bache]

Hi Phil,
Brilliant - thanks!  We usually meet at the MAC cafe (Cannon Hill Park 
in Edgbaston), but may be different on the 27th if we're going to cook 
at same time... am forwarding this message to No Borders list in case 
anyone has an idea they can respond...
Look forward to seeing you.
Tam.
