It’s usually been a good day and getting better. Being on a weekend, like last year, gives us more day time which is good. This is a great opportunity to catch up with people in a gorgeous, relaxed social setting and to meet new people – some from a variety of groups such as the Humanists, Atheists, Secular Party, Rationalists etc. Very social and a nice opportunity for some re-inforcement and exchange of ideas.
