Hear, hear! I'd just like to chime in with Philip and convey my especial thanks to Mike for inviting me too: for me, living in the (relatively) deep south, it was the most accessible Rudgate venue so far - so I thought I'd better avail myself of this rare opportunity...
And I am deeply impressed by the website(s) generally, and especially by the photos and sound samples being uploaded within 24 hours: a magnificent job by the Webmistress, Julie...
(I was the a-bit-too-wellrounded elderly gentleman in the blue shirt singing bass on this occasion, if anyone wonders.)
Greetings to all from
Nick
(Some call me Old Nick, can't imagine why, or occasionally Mr Pickwick, for whatever reason... :-) )

music in good time and the recording as a learning aid. I look forward to
joining you again - though sadly not on 2nd November.
No doubt see you around before then
Best wishes
