Your comments

Rather than write what WE thought, it would be nice to have comments from those who attended. So if those attended feel 'moved' to contribute, please do so by contacting the Webmistress, who will publish nice positive comments and take note of constructive questions or suggestions ...!! We are collecting the comments on another page: click here to see the comments so far!

Photos

Stéphane Derône carried out his role as photographer superbly - aided by a snazzy little camera!. The photos are on display on the following pages. If anyone is unhappy about their face appearing, just let the Webmistress know and she will remove the photos / face ... no questions asked!

It would be nice to put names to faces, so could those who attended look through the photos and contact the Webmistress to

(1) let us know where you are, [e.g. " I'm the photogenic one on page one,row 4, column 1) and

(2) say if you are willing to have your first name, establishment/contact details and special language interests referenced on the site. (This picks up on a Good Idea from Gwerfyl that we support more 'networking' amongst members of the branch.)

If anyone has any suitable captions to the photos, perhaps you'd like to suggest some! (Helen has included some for starters!)

To help with loading time of pages, we've spread the photos over 7 pages.
