Wayne has now had his operation (delayed a little but not too much) and is sporting an impressive 20cm scar up the middle of his back. The surgeons successfully removed a small tumor from within his spine which fortunately proved to be non-malignant so the only problem he has now is the boredom brought on by the inactivity his convalescence requires.

Its unlikely that well be able to get to any of this years events (though weve not totally ruled out some of the late ones) but were certainly aiming to be back next year.

Thanks for your kind thoughts and we hope to see you all soon.
