Hey guys. I know most folk are down south for Hatton … I have my name down for Thirlestane tomorrow, but something's come up at work and I won't be able to make it.

I know Peter’s looking after the event, but don’t have any contact details for him. If anyone heading along sees this, can you please pass on my apologies and tell him not to wait for me—because I ain’t coming!

Ta.
