Sorry Ali, haven't really come up with much else of particular help regarding timing.
Only found this about your hubby's hoped-for course, which is no doubt what you know already and won't be of any help but I'll stick it on here anyway.

Let us know how the emailing and phoning goes. If you haven't heard from Johnty or anyone else by tomorrow (bedtime for me now), I'll drop him a PM, if you like, to alert him that his 'expertise' would be appreciated on the forum.
