When you’re Deputy Chair, you sometimes get to be the face of the profession locally – including at prize-giving presentations.
I’ve met ‘er, you know…
It’s a strange feeling watching people you know on TV – especially when one of them looks familiar, but you can’t remember why…
Stepping up for PRide
On the way to Northern Conference earlier this month, Deborah (Y&L Group Chair) casually mentioned that she had a work engagement on the same evening as PRide, which meant I’d have to step up and make the opening remarks. Two week’s notice!
Actually, not that difficult. I mean, standing on stage in front of 300-ish already slightly merry PR people wasn’t an issue, I just wanted to make sure I said everything that needed to be said. Which I think I did. And it was good practice for when I’m Chair (all being well) in 2013 & 2014.
I still seem to be having trouble smiling for photos though.
Presentation Night
The season’s over… the club’s over. All there is left to do is party.
Not as many photos as you may have been hoping for… for obvious reasons 🙂
We’ve only bloody done it!
We are most definitely the champions, my friend!
I’d like to thank…
So anyway – the FA Women’s Awards…
Yes, Leeds Carnegie won, the Club Media Award. And nominated in the Marketing Award, and Jo got the Regional Media Award (for the work she did with us – many thanks).
But oh! The photographs were dreadful. I looked like a waxwork dummy. Not good at all, but perfectly illustrates why I’m better behind the camera than in front of it.
Still, getting a taste for it now, and aiming for a CIPR PRide Award next. Must win one eventually…
Comings and Goings on Marley Terrace
When you own your own abode and most of the people around you are a bit ‘transient’ you tend to pay attention to what’s happening down the rest of the street.
A distinct lack of forward planning
Or, check your gear *before* you need to use it…
Well it’s not *im* possible…
Hmm. Just how difficult is it to build a family tree web site?
Forty Two
42 is, of course, the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
Having said that 2009 might be a year to forget, it could just as easily be a year to remember, age-wise.
Happy birthday, me!
