I was there too, but nobody saw me. I was hiding under one of the tables.

I'll second that...it was lovely to meet you at last, Norma, and others who've just been names on a screen for the past couple of years (Caz, Suzi ) ...unfortunately, I had to leave before the evening's shenanigans (silly ongoing grumbling appendix), but it was great to put faces to names. Some great talks, too--thanks to all those involved, and a big round of applause and big thanks to Adam for making it all possible.

one of my last memories before the drink dismantled my mind was of Suzi changing that Diddles character? wats the story behind this? Does he have a wikipedia page?!!

Excellent shots. Thanks, Andrew.

By the by, in the “Liza and Kate Bradshaw along with the rest of the group return to the King's Stores via White's Row“ photo I'm the one dressed in red hidden behind Rob Clack, who's partly hidden behind Jennifer Shelden. So I hope that people stop assuming I'm a masquerading Maria Birchwood (whom, I have to say, I'm starting to see in my dreams)...

[The Grave Maurice]

Hmmm. Can't quite see you, Maria. Although, as someone I know often says, you seem to be "walking with a purpose". Let's hope Andrew captured you in one of his other shots.

[mariab]

Walking with a purpose, eh? I wish I were walking with a purpose – in life. (I should've been preparing 2 German proposals due on deadline on october 1st, instead I spent almost all night on a casebook gabfest.)
I hope noone posts any pictures of me looking crazy or, let's say, “unattractive“...
