The seating arrangements have just been announced for the MKSN conference and are as follows:
After much consideration it has been decided to seat participants in their particular countries of origin, which will be done alphabetically. Therefore New Zealand will be seated with Netherlands and Nigeria. The United States will be with the United Kingdom (just don't mention the Boston Tea Party) and the Australians will be with Algeria and Afghanistan. At table 10 will be Iraq, Iran and Israel oooooops
After reconsideration it has been decided to seat participants in positions where they would feel most naturally comfortable. The Americans will be next to the chapel, the British under the portrait of Her Majesty and the Kiwis and Australians as close to the bar a possible.
O.k. has anyone else got any better ideas?
