Neil Hopwood inAustralia - Neil @ The Lewisham Week 1

Whilst in Australia, Neil was staying with Nella, an old friend from South Africa who now
lives in Sydney. Nella and her husband Anthony hosted Neil and showed him a lot of
the tourist sites around town plus made sure he had plenty of time for shopping!
But Neil's big reason for coming was also to meet ABBAMAIL Administration's
Grant Whittingham & Graeme Read and other Aussie fans. Neil has been a member
of ABBAMAIL's internet mailing list for many years and had heard a lot about the regular
Wednesday gatherings at the Lewisham pub - he made sure he came along to be part
of the fun both Wednesdays he was in town.
