was overstating the case, until they piled out of
the car and staggered into the main hall. It went

laptop and projector all day and couldn’t escape.
The PA finally settled down from its frequent
power-outs, and we got underway. I did the
“official” talk about Multiply. Then Ian took
over giving some solid teaching on the baptised
life. This carried impact. The delegate numbers
had now more than doubled.
While de-rigging, we chatted to the young guys

well overrun the official 12.30pm finish, things
finally wound down.
Back home after dark, we found three lizards
and a millipede in the rooms. It all led to a
