Due to the late arrival of the pizza’s we had to attend the workshop with a pen in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other. But that didn’t bother; everybody as enthusiastically taking part of the workshop and some even participated in some role playing in front of all of us and the beer was cold so… yes it was a success.
