Hi -

I was just looking at the workshops etc. for the show. There seems to be a lot of gaps.  Anyone know why when the show is only about a monthish away that there seems to be so many empty spaces in the timetable?  Do you just think the website has not been updated?

I was wondering about going but not so sure now. It is a huge effort for me to get to London and I can't really muster much enthusiasm for what they have on offer at the mo.

Yes, it's a shame.  Sadly, there was not enough to intice me to London with all the relevant costs involved.

I still think that WDYTYA should move locations so that other people who can't normally get to London can get a chance to attend.  Maybe it could be held in Birmingham or Manchester? Or dare I even suggest Scotland!   ;D    Or what about a touring WDYTYA?

I see that someone on RC has posted an offer from Amazon -   WDYTYA tickets for £10 each.    :-X

I agree about it being moved elsewhere as well.  I am lucky that I get in for free each year but I do have to help my friend who has a stall there.  If I didnt I  wouldnt be going with the associated costs involved.  I think they have asked about moving it elsewhere on the feedback forms and most people who attended said they would prefer it to stay in London.  I see its advantage being as most overseas people come to London rather than anywhere else and the fact the venue as the underground overground and bus services there
