You should make sure you come along to the 'meet your region' event on the Sunday morning - there should be lots of lovely Scoobies there to welcome you!

Hi Sheila,
I saw you'd left a message on the conference page, but it won't let me access it. I've sent you a friend request - let me know when you get it, and I'll give you the details you need.
