AnonyMouse_8466 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 We were talking in chat last night abour our Nursery World exploits and were talking about the next chance for an exhibition-based get together. So this is it, we think - the Education Show in Birmingham. Obviously this is a much bigger show so if lots of us are going we may need to agree a meeting place/time etc. Here's the link to the web page. I like the show planner where you can enter all your requirements into their search facility and it will plan your visit to the show so you don't miss anything you might be interested in. Its just a pity mine would take three days to complete... So what do you think - who is up for our second Forum social of 2009? Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_79 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 A few of us have met up there in the past. Its very big and busy though so quite difficult to get any quality time together. It can be difficult to find empty seats for 2 let alone more in the cafes and tea places. Hope you have more success than we did. I'll give you a shopping list Maz and meet you more localy!

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks for the prompt maz, I need to contact my friend about it. Although when I go I find I spend money I cant really afford on children and settings I dont really work at!! I do like getting ideas though. If I decide to go I'll post back.

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm going to the show on the Saturday. I'm going to wear my FSF badge, my name will appear as REA, not Andrea and incase it helps, I'll have a red dot on it too. Hope to see you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hmmm - well, better start deciding then!!! At least we won't be blundering in the dark to find each other, hey, Rea if I do make it!! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 You just let me know when you're free for a day and instead of pushing our way through crowds we can find a nice little place to have coffee and lunch. I owe you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm hoping to go too - but not sure which day - either the Thurs or the Sat depending on if I have work booked but now I've said it, I guess something will come in for the Thursday!! As for arranging a place to meet I guess we could arrange to do one of those flash mob gatherings - arrange to meet in given place in the show, hold up something red then disperse!

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 So long as the plan is actually whats on the ground. When I met beth1 we found we were meeting at a demonstartion place but the plan showed a seating area. Someone tried to move me on, but I didnt let them.

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Slightly more than that 'cos i'd need to get the train to Carlisle first then wait there for a connection, so possibly closer to four and a half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well, if I get there I'll look for a wildly waving red dot in the sky !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_64 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Someone tried to move me on, but I didnt let them. Did they not see the look of steely determination in your eyes and steer well clear?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Eventually Beau. I acted (?) a bit daft and kept talking about how the floor plan was wrong, and wouldnt acknowledge what she was telling me. I'm a potential customer and the customer is always right.
