Antonia Forest Conference

[leapingirbis.livejournal.com]

The Antonia Forest Conference is rapidly approaching ... and as this is my very first non-work-related, non-professional, purely-voluntary conference EVER, I am starting to get slightly nervous. It occurs to me that I have no idea what sort of people go to such things. Will everyone there know one another except for me? Will they all be madly intellectual or greet one another with secret handshakes? If you meet people who are members of AF forums, will they identify themselves as such or are internet personas secret identities which are never to be revealed in Real Life?

Therefore my question - how many Trennels members will be at the conference? Does anyone know how many attendees there will in fact be? And if there is a special handshake - can someone let me know how it goes???

Well I hope it will be fun - it should be as there are some great speakers - and know that the committee have spent absolutely ages trying to arrange the programme but think that everyone will be a bit apprehensive. I'm meant to be organising some discussion groups and am absolutely terrified that either a) not one person will come or b) people will come and say nothing at all and I will look very silly indeed...
