Apologies from me. I am promised elsewhere (Wrexham, Chester and parts of north Wales). Hope it goes well. Imperial is a splendid venue.

Hi Stephanie,

Well, we can't encourage any physical injuries!! ;-) But your sentiments very greatly appreciated!

To add insult to no injury whatsoever: it is looking like a particularly good year, as the
15 Anniversary year, with excellent presentations from so many people from so many places.

To all: all very welcome, and though we can't guarantee you'll enjoy it, we aim to ensure you will,
and might discover some wonderful new things too. ;-)

Onward!

(Looking forward to seeing you beyond, Stephanie!)

all best wishes
Graeme

Graeme and the rest of the list,


I would give my right arm to go to this, but I'm right handed so it
would really crimp my writing.  I don't have the funding for this year
but am really hoping I might for 2013.


All of this is to say for anyone one this list who is considering going
and has never been before, GO!  You won't regret it!
It is an absolutely wonderful experience; the two I've been lucky enough
to attend have been some of the best professional development of my
career.
