YSA conference day 3 afternoon: YSAing on a semi sunny afternoon

Well after the conference session was over it was time for Lunch. Someone realised if somewhat belatedly that trying to fit 600 odd ysa into the small foyer was a disaster waiting to happen so the lunch trays were quickly hustled outside. The inevitable scrum started and the ripping of bags but I decided to head for the far end where the fewest amount of people were. The gamble paid off, I got Chicken!! No Crayfish and rocket whatever the heck that was for me!

However it took quite a while for the others to appear as you can imagine the size of the queue. But appear they did. Engineseer quite happy because there were lots of corned beef and he likes that.

Next up after lunch was a musical about the history of the church in the British Isles. It was awesome!! The only problem as it was in the main hall to say it was a little packed would be a understatement! There were people perched on the window Sills!

there were a couple of workshops in the afternoon I resisted the temptation to sneak away for a nap, unlike some people :-)

For dinner that evening we got to the dining hall as early as we could, but we were still stuck in a queue for 10 minutes. And what did we discover we had for dinner. Why the two best possible foods you could hope for with lots of people in white shirts, ties and Sunday dresses. Spaghetti or Roast beef with gravy. I didn’t have a bib but fortunately my tie worked just as well as a large dollop of gravy landed right on it. Which did save my shirt!
