For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Businesses in West Wiltshire - networking

Yesterday evening, we ran our first Speed Networking event of the year at Well House Manor. Over two one-hour sessions, each of 20 companies attended got to meet the other 19 companies who were with us, moving around the tables every five minutes. I find it a very educational excerise to provide an overview of what I do in just under 2 minutes - but it can be done ... and that leaves a couple of minutes for the companies to say "is it worth getting together later" - networking objective achieved!

It can be quite tiring networking with group after group - so the evening is split by a buffet supper - served last night by Chris and Sarah, and thoroughly enjoyed by the businesses attending. We had taken a considered decision not to serve free glasses of alcohol on this occasion - but rather we had a selection of fizzy and still soft drinks, tea and coffee, and they were enjoyed by all - with all being fresh and ready for the second (8 p.m. to 9 p.m.) session.


I was "Master of Ceremonies" for the evening; clearly a very good and productive time was being had by all, as I had to go into "Town Crier mode" - i.e. loud - to get people to move on.

And - look at this picture 20 minutes after the finish according to the clock - where people were moving around and spending longer networking long after the "round robin" had concluded. And this morning, my email box has been busy with questions and follow ups. Truly, a fruitful evening - and many thanks to Christine for organising all those busy business people to coma along!

The next Speed Networking Evening will be on Wednesday, 16th July 2008. Please email us if you're a business in the West Wiltshire area and we'll be delighted to have you along. There's a charge of £15.00 per business - £20.00 if you have two representatives - including the networking and the buffet.
