¡Hasta la vista Andy & Llanos!

Tomorrow Bristol Wireless bids farewell to long-serving volunteer Andy Sabel and his partner Llanos, who are migrating south – and not just for the winter.

Llanos has got a new job in Gibraltar with a prominent British betting company and Andy is moving with her (from Windmill Hill to William Hill, as some bright spark quipped recently. Ed.).

Bristol Wireless first made Andy’s acquaintance many years ago when we worked at Easton Community Centre in the early days of the co-operative’s existence.

During his time with Bristol Wireless, Andy’s knowledge of networking has proved invaluable and he will be sadly missed by us all, not just for his IT skills, but cycle maintenance proficiency and love of cider.

Llanos too will be missed by us all as she’s been a great help in her own quiet way and been an essential part of the logistics for the Barncamp/Hacktionlab events we’ve held up the Wye Valley in the past few years (news passim), as well as her valued IT skills.

In other news, Llanos and Andy are also expecting their first child later this year (How long after teething will the babe be learning to install Linux on the command line? 😉 Ed.).

We’d therefore like to wish Andy and Llanos all the best for the future and bid them as very fond ‘hasta luego’, not ‘adios’, as we’ll no doubt keep in contact with them online. 🙂
