First Day of Conference

We were able to take the bus into the University and found our committee rooms without a problem.  I was able to get on wifi (which had been very spotty at the B and B), and get some work done.  The students were surprised when their rooms took a 30 min tea break in the late morning.  Things were a bit rough in committee with lots of people missing, including a number of experienced Chairs, not everything was being run professionally.  We hoped it would calm down a bit on the second day.  The students got lunch with their committee members and finished out the afternoon.   We returned to the B and B to change and get ready for the club social that night.

We got off a few stops early to look for a place for dinner and eventually found a good one – Biblios.  More haggis was ordered.  We then found our way to the local club which was a very old converted storehouse with old arched stone walls and ceilings, cozy sitting areas, and a good DJ.  Some of the group decided to catch the last bus back to the B and B, not wanting to trust the taxi companies again.  The rest of the group stayed and took their chances.  Two cabs were called, only one arrived.  The other half walked about halfway home before being pick up by another cab.  Tough way to end the evening.

We came home with 4 more awards at the end of the conference.
