I previously ran an agency and private registrar for our clients. I now have a small personal portfolio, develop the occasional site, and enjoy advisory and board work. But the day job is running the digital at Majestic (the national wine retailer, not the SEO tool )

a couple photos from the venue - the location was perfect!! Yes, I understand that some members didn't attend even though were registered.. The food was plenty, drinks were delicious and the location > divine! .. sadly, it was raining a little when the event started > still, more reasons for us, the Nominet members, to talk to each other and get to know the Nominet team.

Professional, friendly and perfect! .. so much for me to learn as the organizer.

.. didn't make more photos as this could be inappropriate.
