Not sure how 'Tent size' translates to normal sizes but I'm sure there'll be something to fit. Could you PM/email me with a size? 
The members of the organising committee will be wearing these T-shirts too so you wouldn't be alone.

Looking good. Was kinda hoping this event would have smoked out Paul MOtwani for a rare sighting or given some aspring local talent a norm opportunity. I guess not though . Maybe it will be different in 2167 Tongue Anyway, still looking forward to it.

Paul was invited but has an important family commitment so can't make it. I won't be around in 2167 so I won't see you there Big Grin .
