[Irl-dean] seminar

[Mark Magennis]

Hi Hugh,

I've put some thoughts to paper (well attached Word doc actually) about
a possible 'Meet the users' event. Have a read and let me know what you
think. I've a few possible scenarios. I think I know which ones I like
best but I'd like to hear your perspective.

I think it could be real fun to do something like this and very
effective too.

Cheers,
Mark
