beth1 Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) In true guiderstylee, yes I am a brownie/guide guider and a member of a guiding forum (this is what we do when we organise things or should that be attempt to do so! ). Since a certain lovely lady named Happymaz hasn't done this thread I would start it. In chat last night I mentioned when the show is for next year. So here are some details: The Education Show at the Birmingham NEC is between 15th to the 17th March 2011. We are thinking of meeting up on the Saturday 17th March, time to be confirmed. The webstite address is here! So who is up for having a FSF meet up @ The Education Show 2011? Edited December 17, 2010 by beth1 Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Well since you insist on trying to organise me beth, I've registered! Quote
Rea Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) I might make it, I forgot it was on last year. Always a good way to spend money I dont have! I will wear a badge that gives my forum name, not my real name, how about you beth1? Edited December 17, 2010 by Rea Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Funnily enough Rea yours was one of the names mentioned in chat last night when we were pondering who might come! Quote

beth1 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 Aggghhhh how am I going to register without work knowing that I am going? Silly register process unless I stick college down lol. Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Aggghhhh how am I going to register without work knowing that I am going? Why don't you want work to know you're going? I'd have thought it was a good thing! Quote
beth1 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 Why don't you want work to know you're going? I'd have thought it was a good thing! It will be 'what you going there for!' reaction! Than anything else. Quote
mundia Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Beth I always use my home address and have never had any problems. It just means the mailouts come home. Quote
Guest Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I've registered so will try and make it but where are we meeting? Quote
Upsy Daisy Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I've registered and would love to join the meet-up. Could Steve be persuaded to send out some FSF badges do we think? Or maybe design one we can download and print ourselves onto a bit of card? Quote
sunnyday Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Like this That looks perfect - you could hold it 'aloft' and be seen for miles! Wish that I could join you all - Birmingham too far for me to travel Enjoy! Quote
Steve Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Very happy to send out badges to any participants - although I'll have to check with the Quartermaster to check how many we currently have. Quote
beth1 Posted December 19, 2010 Author Posted December 19, 2010 Right I have registered, so thats me coming. Quote
louby loo Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 That looks perfect - you could hold it 'aloft' and be seen for miles! Wish that I could join you all - Birmingham too far for me to travel Enjoy! Are you far from thurrock services? we could travel up together... I've registered - but still thinking of the logistics of going!!! Quote
sunnyday Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Are you far from thurrock services? we could travel up together... I've registered - but still thinking of the logistics of going!!! Oh - that's such a nice thought - thank you - but alas yes I'm a long way away from Thurrock! Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Wish that I could join you all - Birmingham too far for me to travel You could see if Mrs Tiggy Winkle is going - I'm sure she'd share lifts with you! Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 The Education Show at the Birmingham NEC is between 15th to the 17th March 2011. Was a bit confused by this. Have just checked the website and it says it is on between 17th and 19th March! Upsy Daisy is going to look at hotels tomorrow, we'll let you know where we've booked so that if anyone wants to join us on the Saturday evening you'll know where we are! Quote
Devondaisy Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I've never been to this before, is it free to attend? Bit of a trek for me really... Quote
mundia Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Saturday evening? Oh, Im hoping to come up on the Friday evening and then go home after the show, dont want to travel back on Sunday! Quote
Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I'm going but as a guest of my hubby's employer - oh, how I LOVE a freebie Look forward to seeing you all there! Nona Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I've never been to this before, is it free to attend? Bit of a trek for me really... Yes, it is free to register and attend the exhibition, however there are CPD seminars which you have to pay for and (usually) book in advance. I'm going but as a guest of my hubby's employer - oh, how I LOVE a freebie But then again, maybe not! Quote
Guest Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 But then again, maybe not! the car park pass is worth having, though Nona Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 the car park pass is worth having, though Phew! I thought I'd missed something there! You're right nona, the car park pass is definitely worth having! Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Right. So Upsy Daisy and I are booked into the Crowne Plaza, Holliday Street in Birmingham for the Saturday evening, 19th March. We stayed there last year - very comfortable and well placed for a spot of mooching/eating/retail therapy! Would be lovely to have an FSF get together on Saturday night! Quote
