Park in the Oxford Terrace Bortanical Gardens car park and I should be somewhere within sight of the golf club clubrooms. Be there or be square!

It is exceedingly bad manners to be invited on a hunt and pull out an 1817 shilling when the organiser only gets a 1935 shilling and 1933 sixpence! Let's not have that happen again. Hmmmm?
