I'd liked to add my sincere thanks to Andy's for all your hard work  
and even harder cat herding to have got this year's event off the  
ground.

I'm still recovering!

I have however written a short post on the event  
http://www.bristolwireless.net/2011/06/a-trip-to-barncamp-2011/ and  
linked to it from the wiki.

Thanks once again mate!
