This is a message
to the students at The University of Wales, Newport,  the competition
winners and the participants and to any others who came to the
event. It is now 6pm and I am really really sorry for not turning up.  By the time I realised I should have been in Wales  it was way way too late.   I apologise
also to the students in Leeds at Peepal Tree
press on 3^rd March – the same thing happened.  There is no excusing this absent mindfulness.
It happens sometimes and I apologise.
