Breaking News - Conference SUCCESS!

The inaugural Conference of the Disresponsible Nodpots has been judged an enormous success! Insiders tell of inspiring talks, fascinating discussions, fantastic motivation and great camaraderie!

The conference took place in Dublin on Saturday last (yesterday). Guests and speakers queued up alike to register at 10am.

Guest speaker & author I.M.M. Murphy queueing to register:


There was great excitement as conference attendees signed their names...

October, co-author of the long-expected mystery blog, and long time member of the DNs.

At 10.15, the call came for all the attendees to move into the conference centre itself. Then began the scramble for seats...


The good seats at the front were quickly filled...

Eventually everyone was seated. There was some chatter among the audience as friends waved to each other, and attendees introduced themselves to their neighbours...


You'd think these two would have met by now!

Marvin, Chairtoy of the Disresponsible Nodpots, and Parsley, Treasurer of same, took their positions at the podium, before the large crowd of Disresponsible Nodpots. Tottie, designated time-keeper for the event, took her place beside the giant clock, emblem of the DNs.

It was time to begin. This year the theme was the conference was "THE FIGHT TO WRITE".

I was at the THE FIGHT TO WRITE Conference on Saturday, and I can confirm that it was an absolutely fantastic day from start to finish - very instructive, inspiring and motivational!

It's nice to see the official photos available already!

I was fortunate enough to attend part of the wonderful conference yesterday and catch up with the wonderful Valinora Troy. I hope, DN, you will publish my interview of that fabulous author on the blog. Bee xx
