Chris describes her trepidation as she approached the meeting of monomaniacs but seems relieved that we turned out to be not such a bunch of freaks after all. My son Isaac performed a useful function simply by turning up - anyone familiar with Internet Commentator would have a better chance of recognising him than me - though it didn't take long for him to get restless, he attempted to tunnel to freedom under the bench seat along the side wall. Some more pictures inside, courtesy of Bernie Goldbach, including the first real world meeting of blog sparring partners McGahon and O'Brien.
Dick is on the left, naturally:

Gorgeous photos! ...Well, the bottom two anyway. :) Nice one of you and Dick. - Was that before or after the Fair Trade war broke out??
People, I can't tell you how polite these guys are in real life. Not a single sparring round to speak of. My first-aid kit was quite wasted...

Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you - I arrived as you were leaving unfortunately - here's to the next time!
