        Will also be putting on a large pan of corned beef hash & bread rolls for later when the munchies set in. Decided to avoid the normal curry with many going for curry on Friday.

          It is important to state that Karl's use of the Enolmatic for the Filtering Methods demo will be entirely dependent on me not breaking it in the previous demo .

          I will also be performing unrehearsed and without a safety net.

              Your not the only one! I'm currently battering out a presentation on the three test methods. Hopefully I'll be able to nab some gear to do the SO2 testing at the time. The MLF testing might be a bit tricky as it takes about a day. The test actuall needs to develop like a photo (which I think is kinda cool

                Yikes. I have been focused on the grape order - what was I doing again - eek.

                I remember now a powerpoint on golf

                Bob - do we need a projector (and not for the footy!)

                    So we may as well cancel the enolmatic filtering method now then?
