    Admittedly didn't get to see much, but the lectures were really facinating. It's always a risk organising something like this in Ireland with our weather, but there are other opportunities to see the skies, and one of them has to be cloudless!

    Did you get value for your buck down there? It is the biggest downfall of Moores events I have heard about in the past - not enough drinks, or food, always trying to sell sell sell...
