I doubt I'll be going to the awards. May end up having a dinner that night with others who aren't going.
I'd be keen to see a football game actually but I'll likely be in Cardiff up until the day before so not sure I'll be around for any.
You could always just get in a day earlier and go out the Friday night. I'm sure there will be plenty of people around. Then you can sleep in on Saturday and not be worried about missing any meetings and be fresh for the first day of the conference the day after that.
Lots of people end up going out and getting shitfaced on the night of the first day and dont even rock up to the conference until after lunch time so this might also be a good thing and people may rock up before lunch time on the second day. Hopefully it means more business will get done.
