[clug] Re:Apology

[Barry Campbell]

Hi there

I attended the meeting earlier this evening but snuck out after about a half 
hour as I suspect that had I stayed any longer I would have passed out from 
the heat.  You know the old saying " If you can't stand the heat etc."  It 
was with reluctance that I left as although the presentation was WAY over my 
head I was most impressed with it and wish to assure the presenters that the 
heat and heat alone was the only reason  for my departure and I look forward 
to attending further meetings when the weather cools off.
Regards Barry
