It should be noted that, in a piece of massively fortuitous timing, August 1st is a Thursday, and therefore requires the holding of a heretics' meeting. So those who can't face that much good beer in one large hall can have their pubmeet for August, and beer festivalage is still possible. I for one would be well up for festivalling it up... -- Simon Batistoni Penseroso Ltd +44 20 7242 0570 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
