    Nb... I took a glance at this again recently and saw the following note:

    "Due to an overwhelming level of interest, the talk on Wednesday 16th October by John Buckley on Arnhem has SOLD OUT and we shall not be taking any more reservations for this event. A very limited number of seats are still available for walk-in attendees on the night. We will do our best to find places if there are ‘no-shows’, but we can give no guarantee of entry."
