Your proxy was quite easy because it was submitted in good time, online (meaning we had a relatively quick form of communication with the person whose vote it was in the case of any questions/issues), and because it was the only Named Member proxy. I did remember part way through the motions that I'd not checked whether you needed to borrow my power supply, but I'm guessing that you didn't.
There was a certain amount of stress; this is one of the two big things (the other being elections) where a lot weighs on specifically my shoulders, and it's down to me if I've messed something up. And there was a certain amount of stuff going mildly wrong; lacking the internet, two people being slightly harder to find. But all those things were sorted, and made me glad I'd put together all the backup information (half of which went entirely unused, but I'm glad to have wasted a little time on having it, as part of the whole package). But both from my perspective, and from what you and others have said it went well. I'll admit I was curious whether Vince was going to drop a bombshell at the meeting, but his speech was still good without such.
And yeah, it was good to be able to have a drink and a chat; I find it interesting that I have a fair few people I consider friends who I primarily or entirely interact with online, and in some cases in somewhat indirect ways — through reading each others posts, commenting on the same subjects, rather than more person to person stuff like this, or chatting fairly direcly as I do with people I know on IRC. And it's nice to be able to mix it in with actually chatting to those people face to face sometimes.
Hope you enjoy the mulled cider if you find some, and that it doesn't disagree with you…
