Suggested timetable

This is a draft timetable. If you don't like it, change it! However, I thought it was better to have some kind of structure within which to work. A couple of points to note are that: workshops are 1 1/4 hours (75 minutes); they can take up two slots - with a break in the middle; and, there are lots of breaks! This is to allow for socialising, networking, and over-running workshops!

Friday

Arrive.

Quiet night drinking (don't get too drunk - we start early on Saturday morning!)

Bed.

Saturday
