Byfleet Quanta Workshop 2003 |
I attended a Quanta workshop held in Byfleet Village Hall, England, on 9th November 2003. Here are some pictures I took at that event. Although not the best attended workshop ever, it was an enjoyable one nonetheless, and as usual there was plenty to see and do, and nice to meet old friends and a few QLers I have never met before. I will print a full show report in the next issue of QL Today, but here's a few of the pictures I took on the day as a record of the event.
Rather quicker off the mark was Tony Firshman, who quickly put together his own page of photos of this event - see his pictures at http://www.firshman.co.uk/byfleet-2003/ (click on the link to visit Tony's page).
Inside the venue, during a quiet period early on in the day, the picture taken from the stage area just behind the Quanta stand. The two in the foreground are David Gilham on the left, and Paul Merdinian at the bottom right of the picture. This picture is rather dark partly due to the dark wood panelling around the hall, but you can probably just about make out the Q-Branch stand on the left, then me demonstrating Launchpad, then the Jochen Merz stand down the far end by the door, John Hall and others to the right of the door, the Q-Celt Computing stand halfway down the right hand side and the TF Services stand draped in green behind Paul Merdinian. |

Ken Brickwood, during a lighter moment at the show. Either that, or my camera was in more danger than I thought. |
Hardware guru, Keith Mitchell. Maybe nothing to do with his hardware expertise, but Keith is a dentist by profession, probably well used to doing tricky inside repair jobs! |
Per Witte. I have corresponded with Per for years, but never met him. A good example of the value of attending QL shows, where we can still meet and make new friends! |
