You and your team are just wonderful, you know that? Thank you again for another fantastic conference. =D> \:D/ :thumbup:

Can't wait for next year - just wish I wasn't so far away and could do more to help through the year, but will send good thoughts and energy your way meanwhile [-o<

Great to have next year's dates to start planning.....

I had a great time and have already used some of the hints I picked up in the Senior Biology session. Loved the penrith lakes visit - so interesting, and the preservatives and additives session was eye opening.

Thanks again for another fantastic conference and I look forward to next year

To all the committee and behind the scene helpers.

YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB!! : :D I was so pleased to go for two days this year and get all the choices I wanted. I have learnt so much over the past year since I moved into science and can really impress the science staff with the lastest chemical and practical knowledge. I don't know what I would have done without all the support thru the conference, chemtalk site and all the friendly faces who understand what we do (and actually care about what we do).

I am really looking forward to next year and thank you all for the wonderful work you do to encourage and educate us in this challenging area of SASS. =D> =D> =D>

Who has made the Lime water Distiller :?: :?: - I have started to make it and will finish it off today I think it will make life in my lab prep room sooooo soooo much easier.

Thanks again.

See you all next year.

Have a good Christmas and great New year.

Just made it and it works a treat! Thanks for sharing it guys!

I would have loved to be at St Marys to put faces to the many names here but my time here is nearly up and I have too many things to do before I go. :-(

On the plus side, the interviews were today and you may have a new member of chemtalk taking this chair soon - Slarti2, and I'm sure they will be able to attend St Mary's next year.

(Just between you and I, I don't think they introduced the interviewees to the goat, just as well as I think it would have culled the numbers somewhat!)

Slarti,

Sassi dear - can you please get to St Marys next year, and bring Lada? I would love to meet you both - bet your Christmas will be a lot of fun this year, even without snow!
