[meersbrook-house] meersbrook-house Digest, Vol 3, Issue 18

Tue Aug 19 12:05:30 GMT 2014

I think as we already have made a press release this is irrelevant Nick. All I am asking for is the copy of what has already gone out so I can pass the same release to Nick Robinson, Norton Parish magazine etc. Just want to make sure all statements have uniformity.
