It is very busy and you do end up in q's a lot... I would certainly advise preparing a few specific questions that you want to ask and don't take it personally if people don't want to spend much time with you (which will happen if you are not exactly what they are looking for).


Good luck all

I hope it will be worth it. Have any other primary teachers been invited? I am thinking of making this & mummy daughter trip & dragging my mum up to see a show afterwards & meal out. Will be my last weekend possibly for 6 weeks while i go back to Oz for a bit (WHV still valid) & it's my 30th on March 18th. Gulp!

I'm a sparky and got my invite but i'm mainly industrial if that makes a differance?
I may be able to get sponsorship now from the company I work for. But I'm still going to see if there are any better offers and to see what money I could earn.

Just looking at doing the same. Waterloo looks like a bit of a hike. Might go for somewhere a bit further out and get the tube in.

It is a bit of a walk but not too far. I did it with my wife and kids and they never complained that much
