Dos_Box Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 To far me It's 153 miles from Ashford but 163 from Preston (where Ric and I travel from). Not far at all, really. How about spending the night like some of us do

plock Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Can't be certain my employer will let me out for the day!
apoth0r Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Sweet, I work in Kettering so it's literally up the road. Will ask the boss if he can give me a lift Should hopefully be able to transfer the lessons I teach to the Friday (finally the rotation system has it's use)
plock Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I’ve just checked the mileage from where I am, 112 miles. Not too bad... considering I've done the trip to Kent a fair few times, that’s around 100 miles!
AlexB Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Out of country, though ironically my departure airport is very close!

GrumbleDook Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 There are a few places like Travel Inn and Travel Lodge in Kettering and a Holiday Inn in Corby ... Travel Lodge is around £26-30 depending on how far in advance you book it. For others you would have to visit their sites.
webman Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 178miles for me this one. I reckon the next EduGeek North conference should actually be somewhere in the North, Eg. Durham
russdev Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 We had one in Rochdale last time that has got be north as they had funny money from country across the border... Russell
john Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 178miles for me this one. I reckon the next EduGeek North conference should actually be somewhere in the North, Eg. Durham Hmmmm ever think Craig is lazy and CBA traveling, or was that him offering Bish Bazza to be the host venue for the Northern Conference for free :D
webman Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Erm... no, no... nothing of the sort :oops:
ZeroHour Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 178miles for me this one. I reckon the next EduGeek North conference should actually be somewhere in the North, Eg. Durham Or in Aberdeen? The REAL north Or even Shetland Isles (where I am originally from)
Ric_ Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 @ZeroHour: It would be great to have one in Scotland IMHO. However, due to politics the Specialist Schools Trust has no clout in Scotland so are not able to help us out in the way that they usually do
ZeroHour Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Yeh I have a funny feeling the geek does not have the same presence in Scotland as it does in England. SETT next year would be good but I am not sure how many techs go to that other then me.
