Enjoy, be productive and don't get too drunk!!x

 

[Booth]

I didn't get drunk at all

Was a bit of a gruelling evening seeing as we got there at 6pm and didn't actually go on until about 10.45! Grrr!

Besides that though, was great to meet lots of new people afterwards. And the Bar Stewards clip went down very well!

And the Bar Stewards clip went down very well!

We want Bar Stewards, we want Bar Stewards, we want Bar Stewards, we want Bar Stewards, we want Ba*....

*ps: Ah, 'Bar'...sounds the same as 'Baa'...as in the sound a sheep makes...a pleased sheep, one might say... The simple pleasures of the mind...

Sadly I couldn't make it, I was languishing in a hotel by Manchester Airport eating Chinese food.

 

[Booth]

On the way down we reckoned that you'd be a dead cert to be there Curtin. Imagine our surprise when you weren't.

I'm imagining, mark my words. Luckily I was skint anyway, I suppose. I was at the free NWVM networking thing last night, though. Ash Mark and Kino John put in an appearance, but there seemed to be an air of people seeing snow for the first time. Almost everyone I spoke to said something along the lines of "Oh, I'm just starting out".

Hmmm, the reason I wasn't at that NWVM meeting was that I didn't know it was on. Funny that despite signing up to the newsletter twice they still don't arrive in my inbox. I think I got about 4 newsletters before they stopped arriving.

 

[Jon Williams]

I've been out of the NWV loop for years. Can't think why....

Just got this from Jenny Inchbald, one of the organizers...

At the closing ceremony for the not part of festival the event was awarded 4 stars and a 'city life' award so extra well done and thanks!!!!!
