Paul,

Good for you!! A big bonus in this fellow as he'll be in conversation with
other parents and or the other parents will see the two of chatting
evenings and the word will get around. :)

Good on you, I'm sure the next few months will become a great picture
taking time leading to a successful essay winner !

Your experience shared with the LUG may well make it esiear for others to
have a go using your method of presentation and introduction.
