[SFD-discuss] Planning for SFD 2008 - Your ideas and input!

[Peter Ruwoldt]

The Mount Gambier team benefited enormously by having Janet and Kim Hawtin
come from Adelaide to help us for our inaugural event (500km away).  They
are both very experienced and so were able to provide solid advice in the
lead up to the event and on the day.  We were able to get them to have a
look at media statements for example.  It was also helpful for local media
releases as we were able to say that these experienced people were coming
for the event.  That to me is a great example of useful mentoring.
