March 25

Who turned up? Script-writer Dick Stevenson; journalist Nick Gilbert, recovered from a ladder accident (the things people do for a story); Penny Tweedie, soon off on photographic assignment to Ethiopia; Benenden-based freelance TV producers Celia Ellacott and Kent Barker, who had been shooting for Kent county council's on-line TV station; Tim Green, web developer from Woodchurch, the technical partner in Dewar Green web design and communications. Children's book designer Chris Fraser introduced Carly Dowsing and Eric Shapland, a Mac technician, moving shortly to Cranbrook, who is available for all Mac problems (see his contact details below right – how did he make his photo appear in my address book when I typed in his email address?).
