Re: [doc] RE: Eurofest 2002 / Test Track

["Daniel Willis" <danielpwillis@xxxx>]

Guys,

Even Rob would agree with you but it's no small effort to put Eurofest 
together. In fact I was constantly surprised by this years event and I 
believe that a yearly event would be a full time effort (for more than one 
person!).

So...

Lets all be REALLY nice to Rob over the next couple of years and he may... 
may... may arrange the next one (though I should think he'll want help!) :o)

Dan
Vin....none... but the project survives! www.projectmadness.com
