Seminar and workshop on drupal

This workshop tht I would profoundly remember all my life .....2day on the 18th July it feels that we can organize quality events and set high standards to ourselves which we would always like to break and set them even higher.

The workshop had not been planned well in advance and to start off it was not a very good sign that it was not actually done in time. I dont repent not having done so coz Al's well that ends well. Next time we do it we have a plan at least 15 days in advance and before 10 days we announce the seminar. But this gives space to something that I dont really like that is cancellations ...If you give somebody the time to think he is sure to come out with something unexpected and tht does not suit me when after registering a person comes and says 'can I get my money back?' In my mind many things go but it is restraint that I need to exercise.

This time we had all plans and things ready 2 days in advance but is really 2 days fine ??? i Guess this time its yes but not everytime. We planned the cost and all after which we finally decided that it would be 50 for members and free for the members. I wanted that members should get their due and I insisted and resisted to any opinion that was in favour of changing it to any amount. Now we started with the expectation that we would be getting around 30 non members and that was the below line for us. Somewhere in the back of my mind i always thought would it be only 30??

It was not to be. We went to all classes and announced about the workshop and the response when I saw the faces that were gasping at me was not encouraging .Each class that I went to showed no interest and I could only guess that the no. would be below 30 and that I wouold have to fetch people for the same. Time was leaving and we had almost announced in all the classes and the response was to been seen in the first recess, still no positive sign even in the first20 mins... but as I moved towards the lab there were some students eagerly waiting and they lifted my spirits, in 10 mins I had almost 10 registrations and this continued so much so that in 2 hours we had filled more than 6o seats 100% more than 30 tht we expected to. Registrations were pouring in and there were people who wanted to get themselves in any how.. this was the first time I saw that we were preparing the waiting list and that to on the first day of announcement.
Gr8!!!

Next came the arrangements.. we had a gud and enthusiastic which was sure to manage the show....and they did it exceedingly well.... we decided to spend as much as we could on increasing the quality of the workshop.. and we ensured tht we finally did.... food ws great and everybody enjoyed ... I guess there were few people who didnt have the snacks coz they couldnt have potatoes, it feels sorry that we couldnot preplan and arrange for them but still on a larger note things were going well.....that to after the sessions in which the last session which didnt prove out very well ... mike could very well be blamed for it and so could we be....for reasons not to be mentioned.

The lab sessins started at a slow pace but then they moved briskly.. and everyrhing was fine again and all were enjoying....I talked with few and the response ws positive..... relieved was I...
We had 92 registrations and to please them all is no childs play.. but we did succeed and eventually it turned out to be gr8....
