I just now read the online event announcement and see that you are the contact person. I'm alarmed that the steward would be clue-challenged about Eisteddfod at this "11th hour", but I have faith in you to get them sorted out. :-)<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Hopefully, since the event is outside the hall in its own space, it won't be any big deal to extend the hours for the Eisteddfod. I just hope the announcement gets changed soon to reflect that.<DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Kind regards,</DIV><DIV>Michael</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Dec 21, 2006, at 12:58 PM, Esther wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV>Yeah, there is someone.
