Hi -
I was just looking at the workshops etc. for the show. There seems to be a lot of gaps. Anyone know why when the show is only about a monthish away that there seems to be so many empty spaces in the timetable? Do you just think the website has not been updated?
I was wondering about going but not so sure now. It is a huge effort for me to get to London and I can't really muster much enthusiasm for what they have on offer at the mo.

Full list is up and I agree this years seems to be a tad boring

Hi,
I will be going on the Saturday with several friends who are new to FH.
I did struggle to find a interesting workshops to attend (!).

Yes, it's a shame. Sadly, there was not enough to intice me to London with all the relevant costs involved.
I still think that WDYTYA should move locations so that other people who can't normally get to London can get a chance to attend. Maybe it could be held in Birmingham or Manchester? Or dare I even suggest Scotland! ;D Or what about a touring WDYTYA?
I see that someone on RC has posted an offer from Amazon - WDYTYA tickets for £10 each. :-X

I agree about it being moved elsewhere as well. I am lucky that I get in for free each year but I do have to help my friend who has a stall there. If I didnt I wouldnt be going with the associated costs involved. I think they have asked about moving it elsewhere on the feedback forms and most people who attended said they would prefer it to stay in London. I see its advantage being as most overseas people come to London rather than anywhere else and the fact the venue as the underground overground and bus services there
