Organising any major event takes a lot of time and effort. I think it is important that forum members support events when they can.
Wales is a great event. I think that if we had it every two years it may die a death. If we went to the IOM instead, how many people would actually support it? So many people agree to doing things until they have to put their hand in their pocket. Sad but true. I wish people would only agree to do events if they genuinely plan on being there
