[doc] Re: Classis on the common - Harpenden

["saalexander2000" <stuartalexander@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Claire,

I'm afraid I can't make it this year as I'm flying to South Africa that day where 
I'm spending the rest of the summer.  I'll probably be missing the rest of the 
summer shows this year too :-(

Enjoy it everyone, I think it's one of the best shows I've been too.
