@Steve Bank - Wow Steve! I didn't think it was possible to get so many things wrong in once sentence:
* Paul Gibbs is not on the WPUK committee.
* There are eight people on the committee.
* We have not had any problems with WPC, other than being asked (almost 2 years ago) to change the name of our annual event from WordCamp UK to WordCamp cityname UK.
* This year is the FIRST year we have actively engaged with WordCamp Central and we are hosting our site on their setup for the first time - http://2012.edinburgh.wordcamp.org/

Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong!
