to the rest, please fill in your names, through the posting, I do not know if you are interested. Please bear in mind, this is the monsoon season, so if the weather is foul in the morning, I will probably cancel the outing, however, if the weather changes when we are there, we can pack up and head for coffee . treat this as a gathering session
