Getting stuff done... for the WriterconUK Event

[curiouswombat]

I seem to have been too busy to post much - and I have some rather nice pictures for my occasional 'country churches of the island' series ready to go. Maybe tomorrow.

I've been busy with on-line meetings to finalise stuff for the meet-up in Coventry this weekend, and then doing my bit towards making attendee badges, and a few interesting items for goody-bags. The wonderful bogwitch has done the goody bags for years, but last year she felt she done enough and handed it on. I totally appreciate, now if not then, just how much work she did!

Sadly there are so few coming this time that it may be the last such event - there is little energy to organise if no-one really wants it, and anyway there need to be enough people to make hiring the meeting rooms and so on viable.

I think it will be the major talking point at the usual Sunday morning AGM.

Still - if it is the last one, I want to do my bit to try to keep the organisation, and the goody bags, up to the high standard of previous years - so best get on with it!

I also am still trying to get to grips with my new toys - I posted pics here in Photoscavenger and an explanation as to why a shiny new smart phone, and a shiny new tablet, were posted in response to the challenge 'Oh dear!'. They have got to get me through the trip to Coventry and a further few days in London - but I think I'm getting there...

Oh, I DO hope it continues for you. Is there any reason for the lack of interest? How many people attend?

Shiny new toys can be very aggravating, can't they? The learning curve gets steeper with age.

People are just drifting off - some to go to other, bigger, conferences, others with family commitments, and there are not a lot of new people coming in, just as there are not a lot of new people on LJ, which is where we began and are based.

So we used to have about 28-30. Last year there were 22. This year it is 17.

And I am getting to terms with the tablet and the phone - but it is taking time.
