RoadTrip: Hamilton and New Plymouth

RoadTrip: Hamilton and New Plymouth 11 Feb 2008 13:24

Day 4 and its on the road to Hamilton. The local user group there is run by Hayley Smith who gave us a warm welcome to Wintec, which hopefully will become the new user group venue there :)

We had another great turnout with around 80-90 in attendance, and we have a very lively and engaging session with the local crowd.

Chris had some other important business to attend to on the Friday, so he promptly headed for the airport following the session leaving Darryl and myself to continue along the way.

Since we didnt really feel up to an early morning drive down to New Plymouth, Darryl and I decided to drive down during the evening giving us some time relax in the morning which worked out very nicely indeed.

Day 5 and we were presenting in New Plymouth. Since Chris was away, we flew in Brendan Law who kindly [got] volunteered to be the backup Chris for the day.

Big crocs to fill, but Brendan nailed it and together we had a great session with a great response from the ~30 strong crowd, which is a new record attendance for the NP user group - great stuff guys!

So week 1 down, and we all drove back to Wellington to enjoy a bit of a break before heading out again. We are kicking off this week in Napier, and we have another great turnout here today :)
