[OSS RATS] OSSRATS Digest, Vol 1, Issue 8

Wed Sep 8 21:33:36 BST 2010

 I'm also free next Wednesday - Wed15Sep - and having heard so much
about the Sonning stretch would really like to do it while/if the
weather holds out.

Weekdays after work are better for me - I work in Reading but live in
the North Cotswolds so it's a bit more of a trek at weekends.
