<span style='font-family:Verdana'><span style='font-size:12px'>Hey,<br />
<br />
I've just finished my 2.5 months of working in Austria and I'll be back in Glasgow next week. I joined the Electron Club before I left and never got a chance to come down. I'd love to get involved in the 3months I'll be back in Glasgow. Can you let me know of anything I can take part with over this time.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
<br />
Josh<br />

Hi Simon,
I can make the 14th and I will try to help in what way I can. It's in my diary and I'll try to think how I can contribute.
best wishes,
