Could be some very useful bits in there - will probably buy one after a little ponder.
That all looks pretty impressive for the money you'd probably spend on a night out anyway.
It'd probably be a good idea for anyone embarking on this kind of thing to actually do one of those and get pro advice right from the get-go. It couldn't hurt.
And the 5-7 drinks in a nearby bar sounds interesting. Especially with like minded people. Could get rather messy.
Andrew, do you know if that discount is useable for the upcoming courses as well? I'm definitely up for this, but am unfortunately busy this coming Saturday.
