The Final Post

No, not the final post ever...you're not that lucky! It's the last time I shall mention the Festival of Innovation! (...maybe... well probably... erm possibly...)

We had a great day out, there was a definite feel of school trip on the freezing cold coach on the way there. The stand looked great- thanks to everyone for the poster info and to the gals and guys who exhibited. NTU had the best stand, and I'm not just saying that. Better than the rocket car! Oh yes, you missed a rocket car!

Glyn http://www.nedstar-uk.com/ provided the entertainment when things got a bit boring in the afternoon. I am embarrassed at my hockey skills and glad that almost everyone else was rubbish too. I hope the University of Wolverhampton staff have forgiven us for constantly rattling their stand walls! I had fully intended to upload a video of (unsigned) hockey star Dave 'Mudd' Hammond, but like a moron had forgotten I've downloaded the videos at home. So I guess you'll just have to wait for that one.

It was a very quiet expo, but I hope most people got something out of it, even if it was just free champagne (Phil, Paul http://www.wedig.co.uk/ and Matt), a free massage (Paul, again) or networking (everyone else!). Andrea managed to capture most of it on digi film so more photos to follow

Then, it was all back to the Miller's Barn for a meal. Luckily by that time, the coach had warmed up so Jo did not turn into an ice cube and Amy http://www.pipalina.com/ was not completely blue when she got off the coach! After missing the tram back into town and standing in the frosty air for 15 minutes we finally got back to Nottingham.

Suffice to say, thanks to Dave Hammond - MUDD, Paul Ellis - Green Rooms and Paul Scrimshaw - Little Oak Paving for helping me to break down the stand the next day. Cheers guys, it was a real help!
