Personally... If there isn't a UKHA2005, there certainly *won't* be
anything
to show - the date gave a nice impetus to get a lot done for the last two
years.

I thought that last years was a little less friendly than previously, and
I'm ssupecting that the appearance of the big guys (whilst obviously being
a
triumph in PR terms) kinda squashed things down a bit. I know that having
the xPL stand (even with lots of cool toys) right next to Clipsal's five
grand worth of presentation stand was a little on the intimidating side.

I do think that the two days is a waste - the Sunday always seems to be a
bit of a non event. It would be a shame to lose the Saturday.

Seminars sounds like a cool idea though :)
