| Our Spring 2009
meeting was held on board HMS Belfast, LONDON, SE1
on Thursday 21st May 2009. A very healthy 40 delegates registered to attend and of those,
33 actually attended, a proportion better than previous meetings.
The plenary
sessions were:
 | Back to basics - UDI design |
| Entities and UDIs |
| Web Utilities in Action |
| DUG Posting spreadsheet |
| DUG Budget Maintenance |
| Back to basics - structure of Dream |
Feedback from delegates (out of 5) was:
| One session received just 3.4; |
| The other five sessions all received
over 4.0 |
As well as the usual welcome
and website update, attendees had the opportunity to wander round HMS
Belfast and look at the exhibitions on board.
For half an hour the meeting broke out into
two sessions: one on Upgrading and the other on Purchasing.
Sadly there was no champagne prize this time
as nobody has put any KPRs on the website.
We are very much indebted to Mike Booty
for all the preparatory work he did for the meeting, and for his
presentation.

The presentations we have in soft copy are available in the
members' website in the Spring 2009 meeting data folder.
Feedback about the meeting itself from
attendees (only about half of whom left us feedback) was:
|
The venue received an average score of 4.7 (out of 5) - up 0.1 |
|
The catering received an average
score of 4.3 (out of 5) - down 0.3 |
|
The location received an average
score of 4.5 (out of 5) - up 0.1 |
|
The organisation received an
average score of 4.5 (out of 5) - up 0.1 |
|
The event format received an
average score of 4.4 (out of 5) - up 0.1 |
It appears to have been a popular venue
with most attendees. The score for the catering seems to have been slightly perverse, as
everyone we spoke to thought the food was fabulous. The mini-sausage and
chips dishes were a huge hit. We are obviously starting to
expect too much! One attendee said
we should have laid on snacks for when you arrived. That we will do for next
time.
