Since I have no idea what a GEFF is, most of Ms Easby's negative remarks mean nothing to me. (She'll no doubt call me naive for this, but if she chooses to speak in jargonese....).
I do not see how she can deign to be so critical of something she admits she's never been to (namely the Middle Bar): it only goes to show that her criticism means absolutely zilch (don't let her upset you George)and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
For me, it was a tremendously enjoyable weekend, and nothing you can say, Ms Easby, can take that away from me nor the others who enjoyed it.
