I'm there on Friday, which is probably the worst day for freebies. Some enterprising soul should overlay the freebies onto the BETT floorplan for us late arrivals to plot our treasure hunt.

You could still go - just register on http://www.bettshow.com, and pick up the ticket when you get there! I've done that before, and got in quicker than the so called 'fastrack' entry!

 

All you need now is to get the time off...

Picked up a puzzle thing from the RM stand that was about it!

[Guest richard]

To be honest the amount and quality of the freebies was dire this year. A lot of stands didn't have anything and those that did didn't have much at all. The only good thing I found was the SIM card reader from Adobe.

[tech_guy]

I'm going tomorrow (Thursday)

:-)

Must admit not the best freebies haul this year either But love my Edugeek stick so thats good

[Guest richard]

Didn't get one of those, though that is probably down to me being a civilian now.

Friday worst day for freebies? Try saturday... knowing our luck when we walk in at 10am we'll see an empty Olympia and a janitor sweeping up and whistling a little tune.

[Bromcom_John]

I heartily recommend the coffee chocolate bar on the Espresso software stand, its to the right and slightly back from the SIMS stand as you come in the hall.

Our most popular freebie (Apart from pens and bags which zoom out every year) was the fact we had a water cooler on the stand Although we haven't had the gentleman trying to fill his empty 2l Coke bottle yet this year.

[chalkwellstu]

i'm there tomorrow so keep the freebie stands coming :-)

[Netware]

i'm there tomorrow as well i manage to get the friday off !!

[plock]

I'm there Saturday - Did alright on the freebies last year, again was on a Saturday.

 

Hopefully I'll do as well as last year!!

The normal really,

 

Mugs and pens galore, USB sticks, Two t-Shirts and the stress ball gadgets.

[Ueline]

Lots of cloth bags, sweets and a light up bouncy ball. The embossed oranges were cool, although I didn't get one. Baseball caps on the Fluke equipment stand, if you're into that. Sad, but my favourite was the 'Sims Quick Reference Guide' with deskstand ....I'll be photocopying that and giving it out to teachers who ask me questions I don't have time to answer.

'Sims Quick Reference Guide'

 

Bugger.........I would have liked a copy of that.
