This is our events list for 2008. It has been checked lots of times but if you do find a mistake on this page, or any other page for that matter, please e-mail me and I will put it right and may also add you to my Christmas card list for next year. However, before you start searching too deeply please use this link to our PROOF READERS HELP PAGE for a bit of fun and advice. I know the Proof Readers Help Page is a couple of years old and I was going to take it off this year but lots of people visit it each week so I have left it on.
