Just to echo my thoughts when we talked about it the other day, have
things really moved on that much since 2004? Are there really that
many amazing new things that would justify having a full blown meet
again?

I think this is a great idea, we get the best of both worlds, seeing
clipsal et all at the show, then doing "show & tell" (steady
Phil!!)
back at the hotel afterwards .

The most enjoyable thing about ukha2004 for me was meeting everyone,
having a drink and shooting the shit late into the night.

The hotel had better have a bar that stays open later than the last
one though :-)
