Conference Report
Feedback from the October conference has been mostly favorable, providing Vern Verass and his Canberra Study Group with the requisite ‘warm inner glow’. We note that people came from Queensland, Victoria, New Zealand and Hawaii as well as from Canberra region, and together with the large Sydney contingent everyone guaranteed enough variety to keep things interesting. Thank you all for making our debut such a success.
Comments have been particularly favorable about Nigel Nunn’s presentation in which a high standard of clear thought was matched by imaginative presentation. Ken Glasziou’s impromptu scientific input seems, as usual, to have been very favorable received. And Vern’s own presentation struck exactly the right note.
The ‘Hot Gossip’ session, which initially seemed to us a bit risky, allowed readers to be magnanimous in the face of opposing viewpoints.
There have also been a few murmurs of appreciation about the pre-conference information. People like to have some idea of what they are in for.
But it does seem as though our experiment with a venue which did not provide exclusive use , has been a failure.
To date there have been absolutely no reports that any of the non-readers who traipsed through the middle of the conference proceedings has either bought a book or joined a study Group!!
