    Yes. BSAC conference - sign in - pick up goodies - head off downstairs to the sports bar for the rugger - return to conference for 11ses and the incident report - head over to the dive show - meet up with ex work colleagues at Diverse and go for a bite to eat at Wetherspoons - return and do a wander around the exhibition, catching up with friends and industry contacts - return to BSAC conference for event drinkies - have my free glass of wine - head home to sanity. Or something like that.

      sounds like a good plan. Might have to use the train.

          Speaking to people involved, it sounds like this year is going to be MUCH smaller than it has been even recently. A lot of big names are no longer turning up. If you're going, make the most of it as I don't think it'll make 2020

            You are talking about the show? Its been shrinking for years. I'm surprised it's lasted this long.

              Yep, volunteering both days on the bite-back stand, although not until after the rugby on Sunday!

                      Saturday for me, a mix of the conference and dive show. Plus maybe 'spoons.

                        So a smaller show for the same (high) price (plus parking, etc.). Sounds great.

                        Will Coventry be larger? Was a good show this year. Free parking too.

                            As I understand it, Coventry has booked extra space for the show next year, so expect a bigger show. Still free parking too.
