If it goes too formal again this year, my vacation is cancelled . . .
We are such an eclectic group. That is what makes JC such a great and interesting place. What I saw as fairly informal and loose in structure (but a few activities) was seen by other(s) as very formal. I agree, having a speaker does not preclude a good time being had by all, but it would define which day I would be there (since I am good for one day only).
Although we all learn from each other when we talk shop and not shop, the speaker brings formal learning to the event which can be very valuable.
