Shame so many members who'd signed up to go couldn't make it - based on the unclaimed badges ~50% didn't go 
Good to have time with a couple of the board not regularly seen - lots of feedback on Registrar challenges given to them by several of us. The limited overall time of the event did mean little more than an across-the-room nod was all could be managed to some due to depth/length of interaction with others - more frequent meetups and more members actually going is the fix to that !
