[Mawaki Chango]

Hello,

Message forwarded below for decision re. participation in an upcoming
meeting. AFAIC, I may be able to attend if the constituency/ex.com.
so wish. Alternatively (or even better,) Danny Younger could also do
the job, since Robin is not available on those dates.
Rgds,

Mawaki
