I thought you just depped for everybody Clair.

Ah memories, memories...

It seems to me that Nigel is right to discourage it, because too many
requests of this type would be a pain. As a last resort, however, I'm sure
that everybody on the list can sympathise with that last mad dash to get
players in for concerts. If I hadn't helped out Cantium Brass (as a result of
an email on the list) and then got involved with Wuss Brass I wouldn't have
met so many people on the list. Part of the joy of this mailing list, surely,
is being able to 'chew the fat' on the information super highway with fellow
listees but another part is to meet members at contests/Whit Friday etc.
