BECG - Our first open days!

[ppppenguin]

Just got home after a very hectic week. Preparing duing the week, then the open days at the weekend. Thank you David for your kind comments.

We had about 200 people visit in total. Enough to be pretty busy but not totally overwhelming. A mixture of local people from Hemswell Cliff and people who had made a special trip. Thank you to all.

Lots of things we can learn from our first open days so that we can make it even better next time.

An email from Helen Casey arrived a few seconds ago. She is the widow of the much missed Terry. She lives not far away and came with a couple of friends.

.....I'm really delighted that BECG seemed to have attracted a goodly assortment of visitors. I think you have something there to interest most people from 'geeks' to 'oh, I've always wondered how that was done'.

To continue a conversation that was interrupted, I thought your explanatory notes were about right - informative without being overwhelming. I dislike museums and galleries where you're expected to spend more time reading than looking at the exhibits.......
