A visit from IT
Julian, our new Head of IT, and John came up from Slimbridge yesterday to have a good look around the Centre and find out our technological needs! It was a really good visit and a great opportunity to sit down and talk about problems we have with our network as we are quite remote here and often we have slow internet connection.
We are hoping to increase our trade with conferences as well but this does mean that we need internet connection in all of our rooms for example and we are quite limited for what we can do on Twitter and Facebook at the moment so all of those needs were discussed as well. Hopefully this will be a good step forward to getting a lot of issues sorted out. One piece of good news though, I have had a new mobile phone for a bit and I got it linked to my email yesterday, so I can access my email from my phone - it is really great but I just need to learn a bit more about it first as I am worried that I will delete all of my messages!
I have also been to Slimbridge this week for a meeting with my manager. We meet up every month to discuss issues at the Centre but it was a really positive meeting this month and everyone is remaining positive about taking the Centre forward this year.
