Off and running

Even in these times of educational uncertainty, one of the few things that are certain is that everyone at BETT does try really hard to make it a good show.

My personal feeling is that there are more empty stands (where it's booked and no-one turned up) there is more ailse space (where EMAP haven't sold out) so they have put in chairs and circulation space to make it a more spacious show, and the very big Government stands (Becta, QCA etc) are noticeable through their absence. Actually, the space where the Government stands were has been very effectively filled by others.

As for us, we're delighted so far, an impressive stand which has drawn many compliments from visitors and indeed competitors. Lots of happy and ethusiastic staff who are welcoming to everyone and totally committed to making a visit to the Guroo stand a great experience.

So Wednesday is down and it went well, leads up, orders booked, busy and no disappointments (other than the price of beer in the pub across the road)

Tomorrow, I'll do a report on Functioonal Skills activity - I didn't really get a chance today to walk enough of the show.

Best wishes - Jonathan , currently resident at the Easy Hotel, Earls Court and stand J11 Olympia!
