TRIP TO LIVERPOOL. There has been a very good response to this trip and I need to firm up the numbers so that I know who is coming and who have decided that they are unable to come on this occasion. I would be grateful therefore if all those who have expressed an interest for whom I have allocated a seat, please let have me the money so that I know how many seats free I have left on the coach. Many thanks. Martin
