Hello John,

Did the ‘Casablanca caper’ perhaps involve me, Nick, Glyn and David, not forgetting ‘Big Al’ and Tim Pope of course.

Thanks (No iPhone though, a nice Nokia). We were extremely lucky with the weather and synchronicity.

To make it even crazier, the bright dot in the sky behind the fireworks when the CBSO were playing Jupiter was – Jupiter

Janice played Atticus 3 times I think, along with Ivan Brackenbury, Ted Chippington, Nick Doody, Jon Richardson and Jo Enright amongst others. Loved the comedy nights we had on – those were the days!

Just pop along to http://www.creativerepublic.org.uk/ toward the end of next week to save a place. Remember the Cowboys and the Farmers can be friends.
