Here's a link for the delegates who were with us at lunchtime yesterday ... it's to Table Topics. L**** picked up the little box that we have left lying around near the dining table in our eating room, and started reading out, aloud, some of the cards.

Those who wanted ... answered. Those who didn't wish to respond ... listened. And a quiet table turned into a fascinating discussion. Were the subjects too deep? No - and they're not too deep for groups such as we have on our courses; rather, they extend the keen learning experience that everyone's having on the course (Apache httpd and Apache Tomcat in this case) to wider areas - to appreciate the background and learn from the life experience and views of people who originate from disparate parts of the globe, and who came on the course from disparate parts of the UK and elsewhere in Europe.

It's our view that you should learn on a training course - and you enjoy your time here too. And that the learning and enjoyment should not be restricted to the main course topics; after you've exhausted your capacity to learn about Apache Tomcat, why not enjoy the company of, and learning about, your fellow delegates, and the staff and tutor running the course too? I'm pretty exhausted by the end of a long week's training -but I'm also sad to say 'goodbye' to friends A****, A****, B********, I***, L**** and S*****.


update The link I gave above is to a USA only site - that of the maker - which is very unhelpful indeed with regard to UK sources. I have researched this further and found an online store in Warwickshire selling them in the UK. Don't know the company, so this is more in the mode of a possibly helpful link than a recommendation ;-)
