Birthday #2: Cumbernauld - Tuesday 27th May

Bank Holiday Monday saw the seminar team flying up to Scotland in order to set up for the first of the week at another new venue in Cumbernauld. A slightly odd location, sat on top of a hill overlooking the motorway, with a golf course tagged on the back, but the place itself was excellent.

The day also saw the occasion of James' 30th birthday - a little unfortunate that Tebs had to spend a 'big b-day' working but we did little bits and pieces throughtout the day to make him feel a little special (as opposed to just "Special"), including a pic of him at our last Xmas do (reproduced below, of couse), birthday banners in his presentation room and a complimentary G&T in the place of his morning tea. (Well, more accurately for JT, the 37th tea of the day he normally has during the break after the first session).



The big other item of note was a little presentation we did in the morning for Mike Smith from Scottish Borders, who was the first person ever to get a mark of 100% in the RM Certified Network Manager exam - pretty impressive given the challenging nature of the questions! Bill took the 'official photo' duties, so I will have to edit this blog once I get a copy from him. In the meantime - well done indeed Mike!

And no blog entry would be complete without the obligatory "photo at end of day", again mercifully free of RM staff gooning about. You can also see Mike "Mr 100%" Smith grinning broadly in the back on the left (and well he might, with a fine mane of hair which jealous souls like me can only dream of...)
