I can't help noticing that the registration fee has doubled from £25 last year to £50 this year (and that's comparing last year's normal price to this year's early bird). What is the reason behind that? Is Limerick so much more expensive than Manchester? Have we doubled the amount of food available per person? Has this year's conference attracted significantly less sponsor money than last year's? Has last year's conference ended in a financial disaster for the organisers? Or <wishful_thinking>are we now paying our speakers?</wishful_thinking> I don't doubt that even at £50 the conference is excellent value for money. But at £25 it would have been twice the value for money ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
