in 2011, soon after its founding, the launceston skeptics decided to get a stall at a 'mind body spirit' conference. they suspected that they would not be allowed to attend as they were such a dramatic contrast to the other people who would have stalls. they approached the organizer and were very upfront about what they wanted to do. they showed her what they planned on handing out and talked about their code of ethics. the organizer was perfectly fine with their attendance. she stated that if someone had a problem with skeptics being at the event, then that was their problem. the skeptics decided that they would always have two people at the table at all times and worked in 4-hour shifts over the three days, which lasted from 9am - 6pm.
