Heya, me again.
These are a couple of the suggestions/requests we've received as feedback the last couple of years, along with niggles we've thought of ourselves. If you have anything to add, please comment here.
1) Can we move the lunch slots earlier?
We run a split lunch to accommodate the RPS/FPS divide, and the Classic Fandoms Episode Screening. But yes, point taken. I'll be looking at this, and the second slot will certainly not be as late as last year.
2) Can we do anything about noise from the kitchen?
China and I meant to close the galley last year and totally forgot. If we do so again this year, please somebody remind us, or be proactive, *g*.
3) Discussion Etiquette
Most people felt that the panels went well, and I personally thought everyone was great about taking their turn, but one or two people did find it difficult to be heard. I'll wear my teacher hat a bit more aggressively if necessary. Please nobody be offended, we seek the greatest possible good for the greatest possible number. :-) Also, I know it seems silly, but it works -- if I don't hear you, please raise a hand and wave to get my attention.
4) Can we post a hard copy of the timetable so everyone can keep track?
Yes. Easy as pie.
5) What about that pesky light/failure of curtaining?
I'll bring some drawing pins, but maybe locals could bring some dark sheets if ya got 'em?
6) Dear God Wellington is cold!
Yes, yes it is. Keep an eye on the forecast, but please do dress warmly, or at least in layers so you can react to surprises. I'm hoping for a glorious Can't Beat Wellington on a Good Day, but this weekend's been hideous, so... Bring a throw and your slippers if you want to, don't be proud.
