Games Britannia: REPLAYED, 7-8th July - Magna - Sheffield

Do you really think cc'ing all 3 partners with every single message is a good idea?

It's also a fair comment to make, the lack of comms was a problem that could do with being addressed for this and past events especially with ones being held in future. Should be no difference where it's mentioned, unless its meant to be hidden and not talked about? A quick email would probably not get answered at least this way a few folk have seen it and hopefully the situation will improve in future.

But the ameteurish bit is not actually publishing some sort of timetable in the first place. Or was it all just winged on the day?

Previous events have had timetables. They're about as reliable as my local bus service (which is why I now take the train).

'Plans for the day' might work, but timetables tend to constantly shift depending on who is doing what as competitions run longer than planned, people can't be tracked down, visiting guests can be late - all sorts of delays creep in (and occasional gaps too).

Indeed. I wasn't expecting it to exactly stick to time, but a rough idea would have been good for me. Ah well. Like I say, I'm not having a go, just making suggestions that would have helped me (so presumably others too).

How did it go with the schools during the week? What kind of feedback was there out of curiosity?

I tweeted on the day. Fair enough, the team will be busier still, but when they're replying to and retweeting other stuff at the same time, it's a bit irritating. But again, it can be missed, so understandable.

Can I ask which Twitter account you tweeted to?

It was excellent. Feedback from teachers and kids was very positive.

Good. Lets steer them away from COD and put them on the path to gaming goodness
