Forgot to add my thanks to all the people who took the time to ask me (in particular) questions about my talk, and many other matters. Lots of "networking" in the non-computer sense went on, and I look forward to exchanging further information with a lot more people!
Just to finish about Plas (I do like the place - after all I've been going there, on and of since 1976 (I think)). Looking at the online copy of their brochure it says this:
"NON RESIDENTS are welcome to join any course for whole or
part days if it is not full. The day fee is £24 plus optional meals
- lunch £10.50, packed lunch £5.20 and dinner £15.50."
Part of the "fullness" especially for courses which require transporation is the capacity of the Plas mini-buses and their allocation. Mind you, as for NAMHO, you can always use your own transport to get to the arranged starting point.
