I think from a point of view, I think it's been a success. I think the our profile has has been put out to our community, and in that respect we couldn't have done uh, a better job. I think of doing that. I think the from a community perspective, having spoken to quite a few people who have been here today. And, you know, there have been over over 100 or so people throughout the day that [00:00:30] have attended these four hours. Um, they they really liked the opportunity of having the space to to network and to, um, see what's going on to see other parts of the community that they normally might not engage with until you have a whole of community event. Um, but I think that whole aspect of history, of of thinking about it, um, in raising that profile, [00:01:00] whether it's for or other institutions or other organisations, the the the idea of having a Queer History Month, um, to be celebrated by by our community, I think is shows that there is a there is a there is relevance there and that there are ongoing issues for us to consider. So from all those perspectives. In my view, I think it has been, uh, a a remarkable success, [00:01:30] really. And as I say to have so many groups respond, uh, and to share a little bit about themselves is a really is a really affirming, um, affirming space for people. One of the things I love about these type of events is, um, just the the residue that kind of lingers. So the the energy, um, carries on and and I I found that with the art games as well, where, um, years later, you can you can pull on that energy that that you [00:02:00] you sense today. Yeah, that's absolutely right. I mean, the the in celebrating and talking, we do reenergize ourselves. We do get to back to the roots of why, uh, why these sorts of things or why what we do gives us that energy. We know that there's a, uh, that there's a reason why we get together. We know that it needs to continue, and it's just good to to be able [00:02:30] to touch base with those things. Even though that might not have been the original intention of the event. In fact, that's what happened um, so I totally agree that, uh, you come away feeling a sense of not just community, but a sense of of, uh, and not just a sense of compassion or or anything like that, but a sense of purpose. Uh, around. Why, um, we do the things we do in our community. Uh, [00:03:00] and who we do it with? Yeah.
