Blogged off to Fukuoka

This blog has now gone to the southern Japanese city of Fukuoka where it will be as hot and humid, if not more so, than it currently is in Britain. Hopefully the international convention centre will be air conditioned so it will be tolerable as I sit through endless meetings with the rest of the UK delegation. I am staying at the Hotel of the Dukes which sends me E mails saying 'If you are without printer, do not print this out' which has a certain logic to it. The local speciality in town is a poisonous blow fish.

There will probably be a number of interesting signings while I am away, but the Charlton blogosphere is now so large, and of such generally high quality, that there will be plenty of other sources to provide you with news and comment. Hopefully under the new regime at Sparrows Lane the Press Office will be able to release more news quicker. There were certainly signs of that with the final phase of the Luke Young saga.

I am starting to get optimistic about next season. Come on you Reds!
