And nice to see Nicky Moss, over from Spain for a few days (and desperate to get back to the sun!). We listened to some good talks, did some nice tourist stuff, and drank a bit too much. We also planned some things, e.g. some different types of podcasts with Tom; and, inevitably, did some LMSC-related work. So the few days were both fun and productive. But it was\u00a0a real shame it wasn&#8217;t flyable! Actually flying is infinitely better than talking about flying.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, all credit to the SE Wales club, a huge amount of effort goes into organising such events, and it seemed to go really well, and people we spoke to really enjoyed it in spite of the weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geoff writes: the last day of August, and we woke up to wind and rain, and the day was quickly canned.
