Jacqui,

Glad it went so well. It's a big deal, getting a conference off the ground - so many variables that can send it one way or another. Good luck with the next one, which will benefit from the momentum generated by yesterday's success.

Many thanks Barry. Lovely to see you the other night and thanks for your support on this one.
