Melting at the RNA Conference Sheffield 2013!


We all had a great time at the RNA conference in Sheffield, even though the temperature outside was approaching 30° C, and the air conditioning was broken! The best bit was standing next to the mobile units that pushed out cooled air, but avoiding the super hot air being discharged at the back! I've never seen my feet swell up so much; I could hardly put on my shoes for the evening, let alone walk in them, and mine were modest compared with some!




It was great to meet up with people that had only existed online so far, and to meet new people too.


























The conference sessions were excellent. One I particularly enjoyed was Jan Gover's 'Accessorizing for Microphones' -  the dos and don'ts of TV and radio interviews. It might come in useful if I have the chance to do one some time!
Some of the others also enjoyed were: Jenny Barden: 'Weaving romance around a historical mystery', and jay Dixon: 'What an editor brings to the table'.





It was wonderful, but it was all too soon, time to go home!
PS The air conditioning broke down on the train as well!

      The long story was that our train was all right, then they made us all get off at Derby and get on a train with no air conditioning in our carriage, so we all had to move carriages. Then they made us all get off and onto another train at Birmingham!!!!

      Great to see you too:)
