      Hi Remo,

      Sorry, but I can't help you - I'm not sure the club has gone firm yet,  maybe an email to Sue at the office might shed some light?

      Regards

      Andrew

      That's good Martin, it probably only cost you £20k to move (plus increase in the house price), so at this rate you'll have to keep your 6 for at least another 200 years to get your money back........LoL
