[Regia-NA] getelds

[J. K. Siddorn]

I've taken a whole screed of photos of tents and workshelters at Fritton
where we had over fifty erected this last week. I paid special attention to
joints and things and will post them on the webshots site in the next few
days. I'll let you know when I've done it.

Regards,


Kim Siddorn.
