    Too bad its residents only. I'll be over your way at the end of June. We're staying a few days in London and a few in Paris June 27 - July 5. Any chance of getting together for dinner or lunch?

    Yes - a good chance !
    Goodwood festival of speed 24, 25, 26.
    So I'll be back at home/work as usual that week.

    Dinner is more likely than lunch, we're in the middle of a big system changeover and I'll only get an hour in between analysis workshop sessions - at some random time, not even planned :(
    Basingstoke is a hole anyway, you wouldn't want to visit there :)

    When are you where, and what are your plans?

    You've got to go to Sainte Chapelle in Paris.
    A surprising church, I won't spoil the surprise if you've not been there before.

    The weekend might be a good time, if you're in Paris we'll take a weekend break, stay overnight on Saturday and do a little sightseeing ourselves. If you're in London we'll take the coach from Oxford and meet up somewhere.
