Before the Deluge

every picture doesnt tell a story... witness

I took this at the start of the poster session, an hour later we had got rid of 100 leaflets and had spoken to loads of people who were really interested (ie really interested, not "really 'interested'") in what we had done with the Executive workshop. This would have made a brilliant pre conference workshop or conference session, but there you go...

glad this went well (though disappointed by the lack of pink ribbon on display, louise). have you heard of other places trying anything similar?

Louise said...

thanks Liz - we thought the pink ribbon might be a step too far (though some people had branded table clothes!) Surprisingly no one else suggested they had done something similar and most seemed to think we were brave, reckless or just plain crazy to try - but there were some really good discussions.

btw - sorry I've been quiet on the blog for a while - zero connection in hotel room and slightly flaky connection at educause - will play catch up later this afternoon (and sort out some scores too - I have some seminal prizes so keep your entries coming, it's all to play for)

Sounds like a success!

Just reading these comments, and the word verification is 'gleap', surely someone can make something out of that???? (I've already got one for it but slightly emabarrassed about the scoring...)

gs said...

don't be embarrassed richard - it's a dog-eat-dog world, you've got to grab the points when you can.

but seeing as you've offered it up...gleap? best i can do with that is gleeful leap - as in "richard gave a gleap when it was time to leave telford". [it's true!]

Richard Mather said...

Very good Liz, yours was better than mine anyway: 'glowingly cheap', 'glamourously cheap' etc.

Yes, it is true, I 'gleaped' so far I nearly didn't have to bother with the train to Birmingham New Street!

It's 'croculc' this time, which is a bit more difficult...

Croculc - easy peasy Richard.

'Croconic culcine'
A saffron coloured mosquito - obviously!

gs said...

it's so obvious now you point it out, anne! i thought it was crocus covered in talc (as in: mr satterthwaite was humiliated when he was diqualified from the annual village white crocus competition. things had been going well until the judge sneezed and discovered that mr satterthwaite had fraudulently entered a croculc that was, in fact, yellow.)
