Re: Fleece noise level problems

[Matthew Semple <matthewsemple@ho...com>]

How refreshing that positive action has been taken to address a complaint 
- well done to those involved. 
I cannot make Friday because I am going to a 40th Birthday party elsewhere 
(I bet everyone wanted to know that) but I am looking forward to going to 
the afore-mentioned official grand opening with the Blue Aeroplanes 
playing. 
Thanks Matthew
