rhubarbrhubarb (Roger)
I would just like to let you all that know rhubarbrhubarb (my usual assistant on Zone 1 days) a little update with regards to his wellbeing.
He hasn't been in too good a health recently, but has been in hospital for the past month awaiting an operation, which is due to take place tomorrow. All being well there is at least a month of recovery to which doing anything strenous wouldn't be advised. Therefore his appearance at this years Zone 1 is dependant on him being fully recovered and fit enough to travel in a crowded Tube train.
Thanks
Tangy

Re: rhubarbrhubarb (Roger)
Please pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery - although I don't really know him very well, he always seemed very dedicated and efficient on Zone 1 Day. I would hope to see him there again this year - fingers crossed.

Re: rhubarbrhubarb (Roger)
Just an update:
Roger's operation was successful and is now out of hospital. He is recovering well from the operation at a relative's house, he can get online via a laptop but not onto this site (as the password for this site is on his home computer)! He is grateful however for all the messages of support.
