Thanks, Ian!
Also, just to clarify, we do need people to book in advance.
We'll lose money if this goes wrong, & anyway we don't have the staff
to book people in on the day.
We only have 100 places, plus people need to book their choice/s of workshop.
£20 looks like good value to me, as it includes coffee, lunch, tea etc
and given the quality of the speakers!
CILIP has been generous in letting us use its premises as a venue and
the rest of us are staffing the conference AND paying to attend...
