Cellar Upstairs January - June 2008
I've heard from one person in this address list that she didn't 
receive the programme for the Cellar Upstairs for January - June 2008 when 
I sent it out at the end of December. In case that means that none of you in 
this part of the alphabet received it, I'm sending it again; I'm sorry if you 
have got it and this is a duplication.
All the best
