Pretty inconclusive so far more votes are needed.

Ah! But there are also people who attended WDYTYA and have become forum members since plus those who are lurking in the shadows as guests and who may still become members

Agreed, but even when you add those few extras the question 'How many Forum members attended WDYTYA?' is still valid.
Incidentally, Dick Eastman reported the total attendance as 15,000+. Has anyone seen a more accurate figure. And I wonder what percentage that is of the people in the UK who are actively researching their family history?

I did not go to this event. The train fare would be expensive (I get very travel sick on coaches).
As I live on the south coast of England I wonder how much time I would actually have to wander around the stalls once I got there.

I didn't go this year, but having heard coverage on Radio 4, would consider it next year!!

I didn't go this time, and am unlikely to in future because it is held in London. I would be more likely to attend if it was to be held in a more central location.

I travelled from Portugal for the event. I do not regret doing so. I met some lovely people (special mention to the British-Genealogy stand ). I was able to put faces to many names.
I bumped into the lady that I lived next door to (for over twenty years) when I lived in the UK.
My daughter met some people on a stand that knew her old school teachers and some friends and was able to catch up on gossip from 15 years ago.
The buzz and general feeling during the exhibition was wonderful. A peculiar feeling, I was almost expecting to find a long gone relative lurking somewhere.
However, none of the questions that I went armed with were answered. I did not learn anything I did not already know. I felt on some stands I knew more than the so called experts though I am a beginner.
As in all things - good and bad....

At the moment, sadly, only 12 people have voted.
Question 1 has 4 would not visit again and 6 would = 10
Question 2 has 3 for good value and 7 not good = 10
Question 3 has 2 wishing to change date and 7 not = 9
Are some people not voting 3 times, one for each question or is my maths not correct?
