10th of June 2005

So we are finally on our way again thanks to some masterful web work by Patrick.

The Women and Children box is near. Having predicted two weeks to completion at ATP (22 may) I think that it would be wise to be conservative and say that we are aiming for around July 1st. Everything is done bar the DVD’s which are once again proving to be the delaying factor. The order form is now up so anyone wanting to pre-order can do so and expect delivery around that time.

Thanks for your patience,
love,
hallso.
