Dear Janet,

Thank you for taking the initiative on this. The demands of term with
teaching and admin commitments are threatening to overwhelm a number of us
too, but we'd definitely like to meet to explore collaboration with SOLE.

We'll need to talk dates within the group and come back to you. If we have
a problem finding a date before 25 Nov, when would you be back on the scene
again?

Thanks too for the URLs. Will be in touch again soon.

Best,

Jill
