Can I put in a suggestion that we do this workshop over the Michigan Spring
Break, March 1 - 10, or similar.   The workshop will not be as long as last
year, so it might be possible to do March 2 to 9 or similar.  I don't mean
to remind you of what lies ahead, but winter is coming and Johannesburg in
March (or any time between mid - October and early May) is lovely.   I
won't belabour the point about having two winters ...
