john Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I hope to be there on the Friday. Logan owes me a pint... of coke! They may not let him out with the expenses card after Northern Conference
tech_guy Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 We're going down on the 15th. I'll be looking out for the edugeek stand as I didn't see it last time.
powdarrmonkey Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Well, the powers that be have decided I'm going on Thursday, but have to be back at work on Friday So that doesn't help you guys much, sorry (though I'm tempted to go back down for Saturday in any case...)
Dos_Box Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 what do you guys do in the evening, going on my own this year. You have to remember that the BETT show finishes at 6pm and after we pack up and try and get a taxi back we only get to the hotel at 7pm (by which time Gav has been in the bar\pub for 50 mins), so we tend to start late in the evening. We are usually ready to go by 8-ish. Or we just go straight into the hotel bar
Ric_ Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 what about meeting up in the evening for a few beers and something to eat sounds good! Oh the evenings are fun! (don't ask!) Fancy a pint Gav?
tom_newton Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Which hotel are most of you good folks in this year? We've bagged rooms at the hammersmith novotel (mmm, proximity).
GrumbleDook Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Waiting for confirmation from one of the partners but I'll be doing BETT updates over the weekend for those who have stepped forward to help out again.
Sylv3r Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I think i'll be down on the Wednesday stopping over and going to BETT on the Thursday.
Butuz Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Yay! I am actually going this year! The ESIS are arranging a bus and me and the head of ICT are allowed to go! It's only taken me 6 years to actually get to BETT! *sigh*

SteveMC Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Looks like I'll be there on Friday - although I've a feeling that's the same day as the Isle of Wight LEA runs a coach up for the local school staff too, so I'll probably spend my time trying to avoid customers

You might run into the odd customer on our stand, but would be good to see one of our partners wandering about!
philjones2000 Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 My "blue form" has come back and I'm clear to go. See you all on the Friday!
russdev Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Just reading not sure if mentioned elsewhere Apple pulled out of bett.. : News / Comments / Apple Inc exits Bett despite inroads into schools Russ
GrumbleDook Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 As Merlin points out though ... this might be a chance for it to be more about how Macs are used rather than the flashiness of them. A bit of a shame really and no doubt they will get some grief about it. I wonder if anyone has asked John Couch (VP for Education) if this contradicts his belief that Apple have a key role in education if they can't be bothered to attend.
Pumaedition Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I might come down for the day....possibly the Thursday. Having a look at the show site, there doesn't seem to be an entrance fee....surely not?!
elsiegee40 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I might come down for the day....possibly the Thursday. Having a look at the show site, there doesn't seem to be an entrance fee....surely not?! It doesn't cost us anything to get in... the costs are borne by the exhibitors
crc-ict Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Nope, for the first time in about 4 years I'm not going. Not allowed
Pumaedition Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 It doesn't cost us anything to get in... the costs are borne by the exhibitors wicked....i might well see if I can wangle the day off to go..I was refused last year!
BaccyNet Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Would love to go but cant see being allowed the time off, its great fun packing year long projects into less than 6 months:(
MK-2 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I was asked to research some IT desks and one such maker is at BETT so have suggested I go to look at it, and it was OK'd. So away I go!
Guest richard_s Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 It will be the first time since 2000 that I will be going. So the RM stand will be safe for the first time in years.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
