Then one of members of team family issues whihc needed to be sorted, then we had increase in our days jobs and lots of other factors..

Wonderful work Russ. I've PM'd you for some info re: a speaker if you're interested.

I'd like to come but its a four hour journey by car, seven(!) hour journey by train and no airline goes from Luton to Manchester

 

Maybe when you do one down south I'll attend :)t

 

4 hours from Luton? Are riding a donkey!! 2. 5 tops. Ric and I did Preston - Northampton in just over 2 hours for the last conf.

Some people have no dedication!

 

IIRC you can fly Luton to Blackpool - I may be able to squeeze someone else in the car.

 

 

My turn to drive I belive.

[GrumbleDook]

@norphy: I will be travelling up from Kettering, just up the road from you, if you want to car share. I will be going up the night before.

 

If there is anyone else who wants to car share from round the Northampton area please let me know.

[beeswax]

could we possibly have a car sharing thread, split in to geographical areas perhaps?

Heheh. I can beat that. It's about eight or nine hours to Manchester from where I live by car, even longer by train & far too expensive by air. Guess I won't be getting to the Northern conference either.

 

Admittedly, I won't even be working at a school by that time anyway, but that's beside the point...

[ChrisH]

40 minutes drive for me makes a change to be near something

[russdev]

just to let you know we changed schedule slightly learning network manager session been replaced by apple session and the joomla session is now blogging session being presented by josie fraser...

[MkII]

woohoo - can't wait!

[GrumbleDook]

Well ... you'll have to ... so there ...

 

And just for reference, should you attend a workshop and a hat is passed round it is customary to put some money into it ... not take it out ...

 

I know what you lot are like!

[kingswood]

Damn!

 

We go back on that day...

 

I'm at a Server 2003 course the first week of the easter break and then we are having 60 new desktop system delivered the week after- and guess who has to install them?

 

Damn again!
