The venue turned out to be great, with loads of space, especially the breakout area which is significantly larger than the slightly cramped conditions we had at Leeds. Hopefully this is one we can keep returning to, since everyone seemed happy with it.
With my "half day closing", Tony Bodfish kindly stepped into the breach and covered my Infrastructure session for me, which I'm extremely grateful for. I understand he had a bit of an error happen with the SNMP management of one of the switches during a demo, but I'm sure he did the usual professional job those of you who've been on any of his training courses will be familiar with.
I was off at lunchtime to drive like a man possessed to Birmingham airport in order to get a flight to Milan, as an Italian friend of mine was getting married, and had unbelievably booked the date without checking the seminar timetable first. Some people just have no sense of priorities... The whole wedding thing went great, but sadly the pics all went the way of the seminar ones when my phone went strange.
Fortunately, James did the end of day wrap up and thus the responsibility of the 'photo of the room' fell to him and his considerably more reliable phone. This time, no members of staff waving in the background, though we do have Mike lurking like some evil brooding presence at the back, though thankfully sans pipe. By the look of the picture, it seems like I wasn't the only one to do a runner before the end of the day - then again, it was a sunny Friday before the Bank Holiday weekend ;)
