Re: sliding door and flat battery.

I,m here - fb is just handy because i cant see the forum post as well on my phone and have no other internet access at home at the moment. As far as i,m aware no-one is organising it officially so i think it may be a case of booking your own pitch directly even if a few of us are going - (maybe some...
