Declan,

I'll put your name on no. 16 , the cost to Ireland will be £35.00. I have
underestimated the postage on all of them!

If you have an address in N.I. I Can still do it for 30GBP.

Regards

Chris Parnham

Chris,

If you have a spare copy of SSI I would like to buy one, of course I
will give priority to any owners first.
There £30 in total ? I can send a cheque
