HOWEVER, LARGELY FOR SPACE REASONS WE ARE NOT PROPOSING TO INCLUDE SARAH EVERETT (OR CHRIS OSBORNE) IN ALL THE LUNCHES AND DINNERS. APART FROM THE QUIET DINNER AT GH ON 24 MAY AND THE MORE FORMAL ONE ON 26 MAY, SARAH IS INCLUDED ONLY IN THE COMMUNITY LUNCH AND THE DRINKS WITH THE BRITISH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON WEDNESDAY 27 MAY AND THE OMELCO DINNER ON THURSDAY 28 MAY. THESE SEEM TO BE THE MOST ''NEWSWORTHY'
''NEWSWORTHY'' FUNCTIONS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW
IF THESE ARRANGEMENTS CAUSE YOU ANY DIFFICULTY.

MIKE HANSON, INFORMATION CO-ORDINATOR, HAS INVITED SARAH TO LUNCH ON EITHER MONDAY 25 MAY OR THURSDAY 28 MAY. GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO ACCEPT, AND IF SO, WHICH DAY WOULD SUIT HER BEST. FOR ANY LUNCHES OR DINNERS FOR WHICH SHE IS FREE, SHE WILL BE MOST WELCOME TO HAVE A QUIET MEAL IN HER ROOM. SHE CAN LET US KNOW WHAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO DO WHEN SHE ARRIVES.
4. THE BRITISH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE THE MINISTER TO MAKE A FEW OFF-THE-CUFF REMARKS, AS WELL AS TAKE A FEW QUESTIONS, AT THEIR DRINKS ON WEDNESDAY 27 MAY. WOULD MR GOODLAD BE WILLING TO DO THIS?
