It had, I understand, something to do with a clash betweeen the SRV rep and
Tom Murray some 4 years ago when SRV had a charter clash with an ARE event,
I believe it was an ARE walking tour. Tom Murray couldn't grasp the concept
of why SRV wouldn't ask the charterer to move the date!

We do send our upcoming tours program to the co-ord committee.
