Actually, I have dealt with him and he was quite a decent person. I have that weekend off so hope to get down and put a face to some names.

Calender doesn't give you a register option - you need to tick a box somewhere

I'd be careful about Wanganui, we get pretty close and given that I try to stay off the highways as much as possible, you might end up repeating...
