This week's hurricane tour (4th presentatio/workshop in 3 days) blew into Melton Mowbray to deliver a speech on " The Regional Impact of National Policy on FE/HE Partnerships" at PERA (Production Engineering Research Association as was) for the local LLN.
The day started with Oxygen's Earl Lynch getting everybody to hold hands (knowing what was coming - see past post on Pork Pies - I made sure that I was in between two attractive women) and jiggle about (experiencing partnership working in action apparently).
As DIUS's Sean Simon declined to attend at short notice (so I still don't whether HE in FE comes under him or Lammy), the day's opening address was given by Chester University's Charlie Woodcock who outlined how their multi-HEI/college partnership worked.
Workshops and a nice lunch were followed by delegates tieing one another together with string handcuffs (made sure I was on a table with no blokes), and getting out of of them by cooperation and unnessary (as it turned out when you knew the solution) close-quarter gymnastics!
Still fuelled by adrenalin, I then delivered my much-rehearsed 25 minute talk to probably the most animated 200+ audience I've ever had - conference facillitators take note!
