Freebies on the EduGeek Help Point

[Dos_Box]

Just to put some enquiring minds at ease, as I've had a few enquiries as to what we are giving away at BETT 2009. On our stand you may recive (depending on day and demand)

EduGeek baseball hats
Mugs (strictly limites supplies of these, so it will be first come, first served each day)
Lanyards (to replace the idea of having badge stickers as we didn't have the time or cash to spot them out)
Pens
Stickers\car stickers (lots of)
Bags (pump type)
EduGeek Emergency Launch Buttons (these are really funky USB devices donated to us by the USB Company (one of our sponsors) and will launch EduGeek at the press of a button )
A lot of top notch prizes too numerous to mention donated by out sponsors and supporters.
The EducateIT BETT suppliment, written by you guys, for you guys.

And don't forget we will be having free pizza at 12:30 every day on the stand (G89) for all of our members who wish to get a bite to eat.

Thanks DosBox

I'll be around on the Wednesday. Good luck with the stand and lets hope the member base increases through the hardwork put in by all at BETT.

I think I'll probably be going to BETT this year. Would you recommend taking a suitcase for all the freebies?

If I don't make it for one reason or another and there are some lanyards left over then would you be willing to post one if I paid?

[Dos_Box]

The items we are to give away at BETT will be available in our shop (once I get around to sorting it out). But I some anticipate demand for the EduGeek embroidered t-shirts and shirts once you guys see us wearing them on the stand!

I wouldn't mind an edugeek mug. Roll on the shop....

[Little-Miss]

As soon as I have something to sell
We've had problems this year with BETT funding where some of our BIG supporters have not been able to support us as they have in past years which means that the money I had put aside for things like this has had to be spent on things like hotel rooms, plane and train tickets, insurance, electrical and other stand costs. Currently we have spent over £6000 and have not yet even gone to BETT!!
I expect BETT to have cost us about 8k all in once we have finished on the Saturday evening.
Once we get back I shall be getting more mugs, t-shirts and other goodies ready for selling on the shop.

Dos_Box:
I believe Sue has emailed you and El Tonerino, but if there's anything else we can do to help, we are both up for a trip to the MD's office, cap-in-hand

Let me know.

Wish I could go to BETT but the timing is awkward this year

The USB panic button sounds great!

Hi all

I was unable to attend BETT last year but will certainly be there this year. I will come along and see you all

Hope everyone has a good Christmas and a happy new year.

I'll be at BETT this year over the weekend. Must remember to visit the stand around lunch to grab some of that pizza.

[GrumbleDook]

Other sponsors / partners / supporters do also provide other goodies such as password guidance posters (Smoothwall), Desktop Calendars (CP Ltd) and so on ... remember to get down to the stand early to ensure you get your goodies as some may be limited.

There will also be prize draws culminating on a MediaCat system courtesy of Westwood Associates and Navaho. More details will be available as the show gets closer.
