Article: EduGeek @Education Innovation - Manchester 8-9 March 2013

I got mints and a bear

 

Does John's bear collection have anything to do with your bears???

The Education Innovation Show will be happening again next year, which is good because it drew in lots of people who otherwise couldn't make the more southerly education shows...

 

Hmmm. South of Manchester and wherever in the frozen north you lot come from. But for us? The more southerly shows in London are still NORTH. Any chance ever of some sort of show further this way do you think?

Only so far as he now has a couple of our bears in his collection... I was too disturbed to follow it up. Although it might be easier from the safety if the Internet actually.

Ok my bear collection, like some people collect cars, trains, crystal, tea pots, models of cats, thimbles etc... I do have a rather growing collection of bears around the house (as well as aged computer equipment in most rooms much to the family's continued annoyance) So that is the total of my Bear collection

 

Anyway....

 

Thank you to all those that came and said Hi on the Saturday to us it was great to meet so many people some new and others existing.

 

Thanks to Dave, John and Vicky at ICT Direct for the mints and bears and being great as ever and we are getting the packing of your stand down to a fine art and that rack was so light who needs 4 big burley men hey

 

Thanks also to Rob and David at Smoothwall (nice to meet my account manager face to face) and for buying lunch cannot beat a good foot long

 

Thanks to Dave from Education Innovation for having us he is a true gent and very nice chap and thanks to the people at the 2pm Pi Event that I gate crashed to say nice things about us if any are on here and for coming and saying hi to myself and @robk after your Pi session it was nice to see you and chat

 

Thanks to @GrumbleDook for bringing his shiny and thanks to Eddie from Spot on Health and Safety (Event Safety Office and friend of mine) for confirming that it does require a special risk assessment due to its incredibly sharp points and agreeing with our suggestion of a file to take off the sharp points

 

Final thanks to @Dos_Box for the opportunity to come and meet members and catch up with you again All in all a great day was had and I am already looking forward to next years event

How does a tin of Quality Street have sharp dangerous points on it?

[SimpleSi]

Another one of my ideas ignored by the management

 

One day

The 'precious'. The points on it are really, really, really sharp!

I love the reflections you can see of the lanyards and bottle openers...

 

 

Makes it look like the 'precious' has been used to steal Edugeeker souls or something...

"... and there, it consumed him..." xD

[vikpaw]

OMG you won! Congrats.

I missed that announcement.

I am concerned that Tony Sheppard now comes to us sponsored by Meru Networks, surely Hotel Chocolate would have been more appropriate.

Actually, that pic is a rather nice metaphor, considering Tony said something like the award reflects the community...
