Well we sent a few emails to the list, not sure how else to hassle folk.

Agree with the former, but disagree with the latter, I think we lacked a
plenary at the end for sure, but perhaps with everyone there and heads
full of stuff, it wouldn't be the place to gather proper, objective
feedback.

interesting point :)

i personally don't see it as corporate, but is this the case people?

perhaps bar charts would be better?  I can't see anything wrong with it,
apart from the non-continuous part, as the graphs do give a good
indication of where the trend lay.

definitely, i think they were fine myself.  you could have put bars
there and then drawn an imaginary line.
