All the more amazing since you had barely any experience of past Polydays and How It Was Done.

Yeah, from my personal experience it went off very well and v.impressive to come straight into an event with a history and run one. (which, I realise, I have also done myself with BiFests so if you'd like to talk over that would be happy to.) Also a combination of 'old' and 'new' heads is a very good thing I think, as while previous knowledge and experience are invaluable, fresh perspectives and new personal vision are also important.
