If Jimbo is going to speak to everyone at 0830 hours=2C you probably want e=
verybody seated by 0815hours. The registration team will not be able to han=
dle 700 registrations in forty five minutes=2C assuming people turn up at 0=
730 hours. We need to make provision so that registration does not become a=
 barrier to Jimbo's speech which most people will certainly miss if it is c=
ompulsory to get past the main door.

Warm regards=2C
