    Sometimes the talks are good, the DNA ones look good this year.

    I will be there on the IGRS stand - with my other hat on.

    What type of hat? Will I recognise you when I see you?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,609 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    I actually own very many hats, so if the weather is suitable, a hat may be worn. More likely there will be a badge, and as a further hint, I will be the youngest person on the stand.

    Seriously though: boards genie meet-up?

    Good idea Pinky!

    Will hat wearing be optional though?

    Optional but hoped for...

    Great - how about wearing a little label with our boardsie names on it? We can wink significantly at each other.
