Yup, agreed. My suggestion (just discussed with Kevin IRL): 7-hour sessions are much too long - people will get bored, and won't want to miss an entire night out (for example). If we drop it to 3- (or even 2-) hour sessions then it means we need more people to cover, but nobody really misses out. Thoughts? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
