.......Hmmm, well my efforts of returning to regular blogging has completely failed.  Sorry everyone.

Well done to everyone who pinned up today, I think we all have alot of work to do still, but we're heading in the right direction.

Anyway, across the next few days I hope to catch up.  First off I'll just round off the trip to Lille I was talking about on my last blog.  Don't worry, I'll make it short and sweet as everyone has read about this a mont ago on a number of other sites.

Initially we were put in small groups of about 5 people and were left to come up with a concept for the site.  This concept was then to be presented the next morning to the whole group and lecturers.  Assessments were made by the lecturers and then each group was twinned up with another.  We then had the delightful job of amalgamating the two concepts into one.  I actually thought this would be quite easy for some reason, but it became obvious very quickly that this task was going to be a challenge; not just for our group but for everyone!  And here lies the main objectives of the course.  Understanding, communication and comprimise.........

.....the first two fairly easy to grasp, but comprimise not so hot!!!

Anyway as this is a quick summary I will round up.  The long and short of the story is that alot of people got stressed, alot of people hated what they were doing, but in the end we all made the important deadline (even if that ment working all the way through Thursday evenig!) and then eventually were very pleased with the results.  A good experience and lessons learnt by all involved.

We had produced visuals and a 1:200 model and put together a presentation for local press and the Lille dignitaries.   The off to the pub!!!!

Below are a couple of images at the presentation .  I will blog again tomorrow.......no really I will!!
