Barry

I am so pleased your event went so well. I saw your plan and how much you were doing yourself to organise it and hoped that you would get exactly what you got! 

Congratulations!

kind regards

Most of the sessions happened in the courtyard sun. I consider this a stroke of luck because we here in TN are right smack in the middle of our “Severe Weather Season” which is often filled with torrential rain, high winds, and tornado warnings.
