We just got back from the first day of lectures, and it was fantastic - presentations on a huge variety of topics covering TDF's life, career and heavy influencing from some very knowledgeable and friendly people - the whole event had a nice warm feeling about it, and well worth the entry fee. Which was free!

Shoulda been there...:sneaky:

Indeed - just a shame Noel Worley had to cut some bits out of his talk on blue john, and that Jim Rieuwerts wasn't well enough to attend.
