Still as you mention, there's the one on Preston Green which we may be able to get involved with albeit without the possible Wifi of the Shorline Cafe unless we invested in some DIY long distance wireless kit (I believe Gordon said he did something like this before so maybe he might be able to advise on what sort of things we'd need and how we could go about it?). I should be able to make it. Remember everyone, parking is £1 in Torbay Council car parks BUT you still have to keep an eye on how long you can stay as parking in some of the car parks is limited. It also DOESN'T apply to on-street short stay parking (where you get a ticket from the blue parking meters).
