WELL SAID GARY!! And a bloody good G'day mate to you!
When am I leaving?
But seriously, there is no reason that I can think of, to stop you from
importing your own bows from me your selves.
You only need to get enough people together to make a shipment worthwhile.
What about getting together with a large shop?
I would be happy to give some (no charge) to any of you yanks :-)# to take
home with you when you are in Queensland next.
It's a shame Roy was not able to take advantage when he was here.
Any of you coming over for our conference this weekend?
I am leaving for Sydney Wednesday A.M.
Maybe I will see you there.
