Absolutely brilliant to see so many of you today in Perth. Great to meet some forum folk for the first time. Crabbit Dave, for example, is not crabbit at all as far as I can tell! Mr Plan B bravely came into the lion's den (to coin a phrase) and emerged more or less in one piece.

Peter S admitted that he isn't very experienced yet with Latex which got some excited. Not entirely sure that he knew why he got he response he did .

Highlight of the day though was seeing the interactions between key members of the hobby fraternity and the giants of the bee farming world. What on earth was going on here?!! Suitably witty captions will be rewarded in a few days with additional shots in this series .....
