Dos_Box Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Now that we are 99% sorted out (and past the point of no return for anything we may have forgotten!) it’s about time we let you all know what we have on the stand this year. We have once more been kindly accommodated by Smoothwall (thanks so much guys!) and you can find us on stand E250 located between Microsoft and Google As always we offer you all a comfy sofa to rest your weary bones on and excellent company with free pizza at lunchtime. Usually this appears about 12:15 and is served on a first come first served basis, so make sure you are there in plenty of time We also have some awesome freebies. Not only do we have the usual lanyards but for members only we have some lovely metal/enamel ‘EduGeek AFK’ pin badges and courtesy of VeryPC we have……EduGeek/VeryPC socks! That’s right as of next week you will now be able to put EduGeek and VeryPC on your feet at the same time! And if that isn’t enough, VeryPC have very kindly provided us with a few prizes that, and I’m not joking here, are exceedingly desirable. An EduGeek skinned Thinbook Baytrail laptop and Broadleaf Access Baytrail PC and a 2-in-1 quad core Atom tablet – Please see blow for specs and pics: Desktop - Broadleaf Access https://shop.very-pc.co.uk/greenpc/broadleaf-access/broadleaf-access-81 Intel® Core™ i5-4570 quad core 3.2 GHz (3.6GHz Turbo) with Intel® HD Graphics 4600 8GB RAM 240GB SSD Windows 8.1 Laptop - Thinbook Baytrail https://shop.very-pc.co.uk/laptop/thinbook/thinbook-bt-15 Intel® Pentium® N3540 quad core 2.16 GHz (2.66GHz Turbo) with Intel® HD Graphics 4GB RAM 120GB SSD DVDRW Windows 8.1 2-in-1 - Classmate W21 https://shop.very-pc.co.uk/tablet/2in1-classmate/classmate-w21 Intel® Atom™ Z3740D quad core 1.3GHz 2GB RAM 32GB eMMC Windows 8.1 If you want a chance to win either one of these please come to the stand, say ‘Hi’ and we’ll sort you out. Our hosts, Smoothwall will also be looking after visitors with a smoothie bar Please don't hit this too hard as I am informed they don't have infinite stocks! As a final note, we shall be staying at the Motel One on Tower Hill. If any of you want to join us in the evening you are, as always, more than welcome. See you next week Edited January 16, 2015 by elsiegee40 2
Dos_Box Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 *BUMP* We made this live earlier in the background but you may have missed it
GrumbleDook Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I will be at the Ibis just up the road (Commercial St) so not too far away :-) 1
mdench Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Loving the prizes! I'd love to get one of those SKINS for my laptop! 1
haldarulon Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Sorry about flying visit only having business manger with me meant the day was work with no play...next year however...
rf600 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Great to put a few faces with names yesterday, just wish I could have stayed more than a couple of minutes. But the looks I was getting from the teachers I was babysitting meant it was time to move on. Hopefully next year I'll make it for pizza
tj2419 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 On my way down today. Hoping to pop by and say hi for the first time. Similar story to the rest though babysitting some NQT's
Seb1780 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 After much um-ing and ah-ing the school decided it's not necessary to send me this year. So I'm coming down tomorrow under my own steam. Save me a badge
HarryMonkey Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Much tidier than it was when I got there Nice to say hi to a few people and of course to pick up the pin badge and the latest lanyard. 1
TechSupp Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Visited yesterday and nice to have a quick chat with elsigee40. Intended to get there for pizza but was detained elsewhere...maybe next year. Have fun on the final day. 1
rickjames Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Same, only had a quick hello and 'pizza please' with elsigee40, should have maybe chatted to one or two more. Couldn't help but chuckle when a visiting head came up and said if the stand was anything do with some financial institute (?) vendor as she'd Googled it and a thread from here appeared. My feet hurt. 1
elsiegee40 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I do hope that I made sense when I spoke to you both. I came away from a conversation with a couple of members about Firefly feeling that I had been less than coherent. My voice has made it to day 4. The brain started to desert me by day 2!
Scotbynature Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Had a great day at Bett yesterday and was good to finally have a face to put to some of the names. Pizza from edigeek and cocktails from millgate, what's not to like.
klop Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Good to meet you all once again, always nice to know there's a point where a natter is welcome! Hope the last day goes well, and safe journey home. 1
Dkeen94 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Nice to @elsiegee40 @witch @Dos_ box @ZeroHour yesterday! Finally put faces to names ! Cracking set of people! Thanks for the pizza ! I lost my AFK badge though :/ 1
X-13 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I lost my AFK badge though :/ ...you lost the EduGeek secret society pin? How are we supposed to know you're one of us now?!
Dkeen94 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I know this is unforgivable but the bag I had it in was walked off with when I set it down! I only realised when I got home!
MattDLEA Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 What a awesome set of people, even more lovely in real life. Thanks for you support over the years 3
Dos_Box Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Some random pics. I'll get more posted next week once my brain stops melting! @Little-Miss and @Zoom7000 Pizza time on the stand @Little-Miss and @Joanne Setup day (Tuesday)
rickjames Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I look seriously depressed with pizza in my hand in that second one.
Seb1780 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Nice to meet some of the team behind Edugeek today, it's really nice just to have somewhere to sit down whilst working out where you're going next.
TechSupp Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I do hope that I made sense when I spoke to you both. I came away from a conversation with a couple of members about Firefly feeling that I had been less than coherent. My voice has made it to day 4. The brain started to desert me by day 2! Yes, you did make sense! As far as Firefly...what do they do? Lots of people on their stand, had lanyards for last few years...and still no idea what they do or sell! Once again nice to meet the crew.
Little-Miss Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I look seriously depressed with pizza in my hand in that second one. How do you think I feel!? *cringe*
