Sounds excellent Simon! I hope there is a great turnout - let us know how things go 🙂

Hope it is a good turnout, unfortunately it might not be, despite lots of requests for things like this the biggest moaners will probably not turn up!

We have a few members in NI, Simon - hopefully they will be able to attend, it sounds like a very good programme of talks 🙂 I'd go myself if it was a bit closer! 🙂
