Info originally from Colin Price via Terry Wong Min
I have been advised that there will be a "farewell" tour running on
Saturday September 17th, in conjuction with the S.E.G. The details
below are fairly self explanatory. Please feel free to pass this on
to anyone you know who may be interested. I believe the tour will be
called "The Southern Belle".

Obviously as time is short, any publicity for this would be useful.
