Couldn't agree more, C. I was apprehensive too, to the point of not quite believing I was, yes, actually arriving in Manchester and, yes, actually getting on that strange tram, and yes, booking into that hotel and, yes, going down that lift at five to seven, and (weirdest of all) heading towards that conference centre... And it was okay! No one pointed and stared, no one cared; to everyone not involved in the workshop, I was just a nobody in a city hotel. Of course that was all I was. And the workshop was brilliant! Will keep this short as a bit wrecked, but the first thing for me was how normal everyone was; the second, how supportive and trusting; the third, how much all this helped me to make progress. (Rome in a day and all that but, nevertheless... progress.) So I echo C: excellent event, Andrew, and a sincere thanks. Good luck to everyone with his plan! Conor.
