SteveMarsdin Posted 5 March , 2012 Share Posted 5 March , 2012 Steve - 2010 was around 65, and last year was 120 or so. I don't think we'd want too many more than last year, to be honest, maybe 150 but that might be a bit of a squeeze. I think the venue goes up to 180. To get 150 is fantastic; to echo what others have said - thank you for all your efforts. How many are staying at the Premier Inn for dinner ?

Neil Mackenzie Posted 5 March , 2012 Share Posted 5 March , 2012 Alan 150!! It was 60 just 2 years ago. Will there be room for us all - some of the attendees are not as slim as they used to be (not me of course). I hope you have ordered enough for lunch. Fantastic job.

AlanCurragh Posted 7 March , 2012 Author Share Posted 7 March , 2012 It's now 160 - and we're going to have to draw the line there, I think. Thanks to everyone for supporting the conference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithmroberts Posted 8 March , 2012 Share Posted 8 March , 2012 Its probable, although not quite so large, that we could provide a venue for up to 20,000 not far from Nelson's final departure point in 1805. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockdoc Posted 11 March , 2012 Share Posted 11 March , 2012 Will you sue if anyone mentions bison or okapi? Given my staggering levels of attractiveness, I have to say that no-one ever wants to court a warthog but I do enjoy investigating the uses of the wompom.

mandy hall Posted 13 March , 2012 Share Posted 13 March , 2012 Alan can you please confirm start time? First post in this thread says 10.30, but the advert in the latest edition of WFA Bulletin says 10.00. Wouldn't want to miss the first half an hour. Thanks Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCurragh Posted 13 March , 2012 Author Share Posted 13 March , 2012 Mandy - first speaker is at 10.30 - but there'll be tea and coffee from 10. We'll be there from 9 and last year people started arriving shortly after that Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
