Comment by carmen medway-stephens on July 18, 2012 at 1:02: ah, thanks for the clarification, I must have missed the details when they were posted? Look forward to other events

Comment by Simon Harris on July 18, 2012 at 0:45: Hi Carmen, yes, there is something happening, but it is only open to the people who have applied to be involved. Both groups - the Sherman Cymru and Chapter groups - are now fully subscribed. Perhaps you didn't quite understand what was happening, but, if it appeals, Lucid intends to offer more opportunities later.

Best wishes,

Simon
