Otto is named in this shot, David....  and the un-named folks, starting from Roma's right ( as we view the pic) are astrasgalus (Anne) from USA, Cynthia and Viv from Australia,  then  in the back row, John Richards and an almost hidden Ian the Christie kind, and next to Hendrk Z. is Razvan Chisu from Romania. 

Lots of other Forumists who didn't make the line-up.... rumours that they are the ones most wanted by Interpol are surely greatly exagerated. :-X

Was Otto at the Conference, I didn't see him on the Forum "mug shot"?

.......Some may have been too shy (I nearly didn't go  :D )

Shy? You? you speak in jest.

Thanks Maggi, I saw the original picture but the old memory isn't what it was ;D

Is this the same fellow that said - How would I know what I think when I haven't yet heard what I was going to say?

I'm sure we were not 'gallivanting' at the Conference... it was full of measured discussion and serious talk  ;)    .... oh well, alright then, we may have gallivanted a little... there was plenty laughter, that's for sure  8)

The noise in the dining halls was truly deafening. :-X That may be indicative of some slightly raucous behaviour, akin to gallivanting...... ::) :D

Can anyone tell me about this gentleman resting while tending his bees in Beeston High Street? ( I may have the name of the street wrong).  I changed buses in Beeston on my way to and from the Conference centre and East Midlands Airport and wandered about a bit as I had rather too much time to spare.
