Fleece noise level problems

[Chris Sharp <chris.sharp4@vi...net>]

Jules

Following this discussion thread I had a meeting with the relevant  
people at The Fleece this afternoon. Hopefully some of your concerns  
have been addressed. I have put you +1 on the guest list for Friday.  
I'm more than happy to meet you on the night to talk about this in  
more detail.
...and if anyone else starts getting ideas about deliberately  
complaining so you can get a free ticket... FORGET IT!
;-)
