[Imc-wales] Moving things along: cymru-imc-wales

[Mair]

Hia Genny and everyone

It probably would be better and quicker (for the group) to take up Rob's 
kind offer of  him 'moving on' with the work of creating the mission 
statement, particulary as there is no uptake from other volunteers to share 
the task . .
all the best with it
thanks Rob

ill come back again Genny, when i have more time, with some thoughts about 
the rest of the message . .
meeting in Aberystwyth / Cardiff .. . .great idea
did we actually agree that the next one would be Aberystwyth?

mair
