How to get some freebies.

[john]

I managed to collect a few pens and the odd item.

WOW Thats some fair haul! (Goes name spotting to make list of who to go swipe swag from )

Well, I enjoyed myself. Absolutely knackered though, came away with a stinking headache.

 

£6.95 for a bloody salad! ffs!

 

Didn't get too many freebies, but had some interesting chats to various companies. VLE's was the big thing for me, and I was impressed with Frog and judging by the amount of people around the stand so were other people.

Talking about people wheeling suitcases - when I went last year there was an old dear who dragged hers up the stairs taking about five people out in the process, and then proceeded to demolish the exhibit at the top of the stairs with it, totally oblivious to the carnage going on behind her.

Not exactly a Freebie, but AVP (go upstairs from the edugeek stand and they're right in front of you) had 3 bins of software CDs for £2 each... stuff for Primary age children that may be of interest.

Got a better haul than last year, although I'd guess freebies would be down this year with tighter margins and all that...

 

- Mug, post it notes and year planner from Samsung stand (printer section)

- 4 colour pen & squeezy stress "ball" in shape of a PC from Acer

- fluffy fuzzy wuzzy mascot thingy from a stand near the front

- EduGeek USB panic button (getting installed on my work PC first thing Monday morning )

- and the best till last... a :)shaped jibber jabber with bubble blower solution in the bottom from AverVision... that's one way to get the other guys' attention in the office from now on

 

Shame I missed the nVidia free game, need something to give the new home PC beast a good workout - didn't think they'd be at an education show so never looked for the name in the list!

 

Could've done with a free pizza tho - between 4 of us we ended up buying 7 from Pizza Express... a single 20cm pizza isn't enough to sustain a whole day of walking round BETT

how many rude people bumping into us all over the place. My other half is pregnant, and she joined me and loads of people bumped into her without saying sorry, and you cant miss she is pregnant!

 

As for my haul, got a mug from a2z. stress ball in the shape of a frog from Konica Minolta, 4 sets of board markers, a stapler, a coaster, and a few pens, plus a free copy of adobe design suite CS4 by winning the raffle they had on...lol
