[Talk-GB] Wales Mapathon

[Rupert Allan]

Hi Philip (trig point)

Thanks for taking an interest, and good point. It's a great place, Merthyr.
The home of Democratic community movements, in some ways.

Do you think 5 or 5.30 might be a better time? Happy to fit in with other
schedules. It's not too late to readjust.

Best,

Rupert
