Sophie Neville 
This sounds very exciting. I hope I will be able to come and hear you.
I’m hoping to be able to give a similar talk in Cumbria in 2023.
That’s great. If I miss Stroud I should definitely be able to make it to Cumbria.
We are hoping to have the original dinghies, Swallows and Amazons at the talk in Cumbria
That would be brilliant! I certainly hope I can be there.
