A long day in Melksham ...
After breakfast, I started early (yes - I know it's Saturday!) reviewing Perl code (you can see here a sample piece of code which I projected and looked for 'issues' in with the group.)
The on to the Party in the Park - you can see here the stand that was set up and run by Chris and Miriam, Colin and others.
The on to the Carnival Parade - here is the group beforehand.
After the parade, back to Well House Manor for an Indian meal with the course delegates-come-walkers, to whom I owe a huge "Thank You". More on all of these things in the next day or two.
