    I should be there too.

    I couldn't make it last year and missed the first appearance of Chas's Xmarks tent!

    Looking forward to seeing everybody.

    I look forward to seeing you there. Last year was the Mark I tent. This year is the Mark II, new and improved, version with a really fantastic flagpole too.

    Regards

    Whilst my health is much improved (I'll be posting about that quite soon!!), I'm afraid that travel, even of reasonably short distances such as Storrington - Harpenden and back, is still absolutely a non-starter. Also, I very much doubt I could manage being away from home for an entire day, even if it is spent with such illustrious and jolly company as my brother X-Markers. For several years I was a regular attendee and I am saddened that I will miss the event yet again.

    I'm sure all who do make it to Harpenden will have a great time - I'll be thinking of you.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Hamish,

    I am absolutely delighted to know that your health is much improved, and I very much hope continuing to improve day by day.

    Very sorry to hear that you can't make it to Harpenden this year. The event will be all the poorer for the absence of Xmarks' very own much-loved superstar!

    We ordinary Xmarkers though, will do our best to hold the fort, you can rely on that!

    Hope to see you again soon Hamish, if not before, at Harpenden 2012!

    very best wishes

    Martin

    Oo, I'm remembering that one and will use in a sentence at work today.

    Last reminder - See you all at 10:00 tomorrow!

    Remember: All those not attending are off the Christmas card list.

    Regards
