Just wanted to say a huge thanks to all at Shannonside for the Whirlpool starparty! It was my first (and def not last) time at this event and I really enjoyed it. All the speakers were very interesting and offered a wide variety of topics - none of it was too technical so even I managed to understand most of it

All your hardwork paid off as it really was a great weekend.

Thankyou!!

Bernie
