Just caught up with Tony - he apologises but he the works in flat out at the moment and Monday is no-go. Sorry!
He is getting someone in to help him who is of a reenacting type.
Likely dates are 21st or 22nd of this month.
Tony asked me what we would like to do - I said to cover safe handling so that we can say we have been trained in use of explosives. Tony said that's fine, he will also cover fuse types, black powder charges, electrical firing, line rocket firing (meh, I like that!), and we will set charges for bunker blasting, bullet hits, running mortar barrages etc.
We can buy stuff from him once we have done the course - I said we will buy on the day. He pointed out some specialist stuff is made to order, but we can work round that one I'm sure.
Specialist stuff - hehe I'm not sure I need a pipe bomb !
21/22 ok with me .
Can't do either of those days as per my original availability post.
Err, OK 22nd is OK in your original post - is that OK still?
Hmmm, yes you're right. 
I'm going to London that night though. What sort of time are we looking to finish. I'd need to by home by 7pm at the very latest.
No idea - we finish when we want I suppose. Im sure Tony would be glad to get rid of us by 4pm!
21/22 works for me. Not on-call that week either

When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
Phew, let's make the 22nd then - I'll let Tony know we are OK. Sorry for the lateness of arrangements - Tony doesn't 'do' email so comms are difficult when he isn't there!
Comms are difficult..
...because he's deaf as a post after a lifetime in pyrotechnics . 
OK, I guess I'd have to make sure we left then.

I assume our new treasurer will be settling up at the end of the day . 
No, I'll do it as I have the dosh!
Please bring packed lunch - there is nowhere nearby to eat/drink and anyway, we won't have time. 
If someone has the latest copy of AI mag (one with Pete on the front) please bring it as I'd like to have a shufty.

Aye, I've got it ready - I thought PD might be interested if he hasn't seen it already.
Meh, I got my photo in there four times this month - my best yet!
