Unfortunately I'll be at a wedding that weekend otherwise I'd be there.

Hope this runs in future years as it fills a nice gap, and I'll be able to attend!

Hope you have a good time - what will you be speaking about?

I haven't a clue yet. Jaine and Paul are the guests of honour. I'll be filling in wherever needed. Hopefully I'll be talking about something that's close to my skill-set! Or they can put me on a science panel and I'll be the comic relief.

Ooooh! Birmingham. That's eminently doable. I will think seriously about that.

That will be lovely. It's the day that the Milford week finishes so Jaine and I will be travelling down on Friday evening and I'll be staying over Friday and Saturday and going home by train on Sunday.

Sounds wonderful. I'd love to be there but NO TRAVELLING for me until after my surgery. Maybe next year and congratulations on positive publishing news.
