There were some light-hearted moments too with an ice-breaker exercise featuring Aussie Flag balloon and a lucky door prize where the delegates discovered stickers under their tables at their seats. The winner was Lars Bek Shoot To Thrill from Denmark who had the Radio Repeater decal. (The Radio Repeater is now a vital inclusion in any battlefield arsenal.)
