HappyMaz Posted January 31, 2009 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
Guest Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Sounds a great idea and I would have loved to have come unfortunately by daughter is involved in a Scout Gang Show that week. Quote
MrsWeasley Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 So what do you think - who is up for our second Forum social of 2009? Me me me! Quote
Susan Posted January 31, 2009 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! Quote
Rea Posted January 31, 2009 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. Quote
Rea Posted February 10, 2009 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
Sue R Posted February 10, 2009 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
Rea Posted February 10, 2009 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
Guest Posted February 10, 2009 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! Quote
Rea Posted February 10, 2009 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. Quote
Sue R Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Aah - I remember the tale! I'll be lucky to have any time free before May!!!!! (overlap of courses) But will try, I promise One day I'll post the Rock City photo!!!!! Sue Quote
Guest Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I want to go...just got to try and arrange the trip, my children, cover for work and so on. Watch this space.....Shelley35 you going? I know I will facebook her!! Quote
Cait Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Too far for me I'm afraid - but I can wear a red dot anyway and wave really high Quote
beth1 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Too far for me I'm afraid - but I can wear a red dot anyway and wave really high Awww Cait shall we meet at the manchester one instead and wear a red dot? lol I can understand its 2 hours from where I live so I take it would take you 3 hours to get to Birmingham! Beth Quote
Cait Posted February 10, 2009 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
Sue R Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Well, if I get there I'll look for a wildly waving red dot in the sky !! Quote
Beau Posted February 11, 2009 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
Rea Posted February 11, 2009 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. Quote
Guest Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I've just registered this morning for the Friday Can't wait. I think a couple of others from my setting are going too. Quote
mundia Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Hopeyou have a great time anyone who is meeting up at the show tomorrow. Unfortunately I cant get there as Im laid low with a tummy bug! Quote
Rea Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I'm not going either now, twisted my ankle nearly two weeks ago and its still not 100%. And you know how much walking is involved. Quote
Guest Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I went today and am shattered!!! Great fun tho and I came away with the obligatory 500 pens and 100 cloth bags Quote
beth1 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Have fun for those who are going tomorrow. Unfounatly I can't come due to a man coming to measure up for a new door. Will try and get to the Manchester on the Saturday next month. Beth Quote
