The crowd was large and enthusiastic.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We did two rollickin' fun lunch time vendor sessions, one being the SQL Pub Quiz.  (I'll tell you about the other one tomorrow in a separate blog post).  We used a bingo pub quiz approach and, I have to say, a form of bingo I'd never before seen in my life.  We managed to extract quite a bit of fun out of it any way, presentation hiccups and all.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Our giveaway winners were Mark Dodd (at top) and Dave Wimbush (at bottom).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congrats!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy!
