GF need not have been nervous. All went well, and his audience appeared to stay awake throughout. That was a relief.

GF went on to a couple of further sesssions, then to the main auditorium for the closing talk. The guest speaker was The Stig. He was really quite entertaining and had plenty of stories to tell regarding motor racing and Top Gear. It was a good note on which to end the jamboree... Having heard all about fast cars, and fast driving, GF settled down into the cockpit of his trusty steed, switched on, and sat in Friday afternoon traffic for four and a half hours, making his way slowly back to the sunshine of West Sussex.
