I think that it might be a good idea to mike the speakers and repeat back the questions from the floor, essential if the numbers get any bigger. If you're on the window side of the room, it was essential to open the windows, and that made hearing all the points, difficult.

Perhaps it might be a good idea if the sessions were saturday and sunday morning, so that anyone that wants to go shopping etc. can do so and yet we can still have organised events such as the treasure hunt, after lunch on saturday afternoon.

I think the weekend: 1 1/2 to 2 days probably suits most people for the reasons already given on this thread. Another barbecue venue, I think is essential for your own benefit!

Could the Campanile get some less salty bacon in, I thought that I was eating anchovies at breakfast!

Never mind bringing my paddle steamer, next year - I know what RC model I'll be building this winter!
