So yet another disappearing nursery and a very good one from all accounts.

[ChrisB]

It certainly is Lesley.  Ron is well known and loved by all of us.  He's given talks on his various expeditions over the years and has some very professional slides.  I especially like his accounts of trips to the Himalayas, but I know he's been many, many more places than that.

[Lesley Cox]

Well he's been here too of course, a few years ago now, same occasion as Kit Grey-Wilson, an NZAGS Study Weekend. Great speakers both and stunning photos, as expected.

... But in which direction Angie?   

[Graham Catlow]

Angie,
Peter is also also at Lamberton on the 10th September. Only an hour or so South of Edinburgh. 

[angie]

Cliff preferably South 

Graham.  I was thinking about going, but that's me I just seem to think about doing things but never get around to doing it and then I am annoyed that I missed out. Going to the discussion weekend 

Glad to see you back on the forum. Hope Graham doesn't mind me saying but he had to say goodbye to his beloved Dexter, we have all seen Grahams picture of his dog. Graham pm to tell me that he had to say his goodbye to his companion. I know exactly how he was feeling. It's the worst part of having a pet, when you have to say your goodbyes it's so hard.  Dexter was a lucky dog living with such a lovely family. 
Hope you don't mind me telling all your friends Graham.

Angie

[Graham Catlow]

Angie,
Just to reassure you that I didn't mind you mentioning Dexter.
Graham
