A somewhat negative thread, methinks! I enjoyed most of what I went to, and even missed some things I would have liked to have seen being otherwise occupied in fringing (e.g. Thurs pm in the Ham - Last Night's Fun and the Demon Barbers.
There was some evidence of bad temper and primae donnae in the Bedford sessions: having complimented one of the session "facilitators" on his giving everyone a fairer crack of the whip than exists sometimes, there was a major ruckus from a couple who were miffed that they couldn't just jump in ad nauseam every 2 minutes! And as for the "mobile phone" episode.....nuff said!
The Anchor Middle Bar was great for nearly every session I attended.
