[PIGMI] From Concept to Pitch workshop next Friday

[Jon Hayward]

So Nick, is there any way one can 'participate' in the workshop without
actually being in the country?  Or being available at the actual time?

Also rather amused by the resort idea, Chris and I have been discussing
organising something smaller and similar over a weekend at a particular
joint just outside Margaret River that would be ideal for it.
