For making BTaP such fun.
Organising events like this really isn't my specialist subject nor the normal focus of day to day work at PH, but it's very gratifying after the event to know everyone had a great time and that it all went without a hitch.
There were so many people I hoped to have a natter with who I didn't catch up with, some of whom I didn't even set eyes on all night! It was great to catch up with those that I did find.
As for the charity side of things, I'm a bit lost for words. Thank you to all those who donated prizes (apologies to those who's prizes I forgot to include), thank you to those that donated prior to the event and to those who contributed to Mel's fantastic BSc project. Whether it was a single £5 raffle ticket or hundreds of pounds in the raffle it matters not, the combined generosity of PHers totalled over £8000! It's heartwarming to be part of this community at times like this.
I'll say it now - that's an immense amount of money and not a target I'm setting out to beat next year! Whatever we raise next year will be as important as this year regardless of the final tally.
Thanks again for making PH so much more than just a website.
