Apologies - there must have been about another 20 groups / organisations I couldn't get pictures of cos we were all milling around, chatting, showing each other things, eating. It was a really buzzing day and very cool to be able to just go up to people's stands and ask them about themselves. Also the food was great. There's going to be something similar on 30 October at St Martins - go. It's a big party for people who like people.
