[Russ At Index]

Hi Bill,

Where to start ..........

A great seminar, informative & enjoyable, i am sure all attendees would agree.

Thanks to Botleigh Grange for making us most welcome.

Thanks to Richard, John, Mel & Bryony for a fun evening on Tuesday.

This must be repeated !

Trust everyone got home safely

p.s if you REALLY want to get to know Excel 2007, visit Bill's Excel Store &
buy a copy of the Advanced 2007 DVD. It is great value for money.

pps, no i am not on a commission !

What an absolutely great day this has been - thanks Bill for coming to the UK and presenting such a fantastic seminar.
I too will be looking forward to a return visit.
(Note: Username changed from d3p2j5b as suggested - even I had difficulty remembering it!)

Sounds like a great time was had by all.

Any chance of switching hemispheres and doing a seminar or two in Oz / NZ?

I think Australia is something Bill definitely wants to do - he hinted as much yesterday. I think he'd probably be guaranteed better weather Down-Under too

Derek (Del?) - good to see the name change! I can pronounce your new handle!

 

[DiscoPistol]

I too would like to thank Bill for an excellent Seminar.

One thing though. If you ever come back to the UK for the love of God please come closer to Devon........

I had such a great time - if only for discovering Text to Speech! However it was so much more - the beer and curry evening was lovely, the company was fantastic, AND the seminar was possibly the best use of £50 trining/career development ever!

Thanks Bill.

I started this thread all those months ago, so I thought I would finnish it.

Thanks Bill for a great seminar (I also look forward to your return visit ) Hope your family had a good time in jolly ole England.

On a lighter note, I think you should end your seminars with;

difficile est tenere quae acceperis nisi exerceas

Im sure your son can translate it for you :wink:

Cheers

I want to thank everyone who came to the seminar and those who encouraged me to come over to the UK.

It was excellent meeting a lot of people from MrExcel! It was particularly fascinating, particularly in Manchester of the number of people attending who have never posted at the board but who regularly use the board to find answers. That was a bit surprising to me.

GettingBetter tried to arrange a meet-up on Sunday night, but the pubs closed early. On Tuesday, a great group hosted me for Curry and a pint. I really appreciate your hospitaility.

We arrived home safely on Friday evening. Along the way, we were able to see many cool things, including:
The canals & locks in Manchester
The Roman fort in Manchester
A castle in Wincombe
The Gloucester Cathedral (where they filmed some of Harry Potter)
Stonehenge
Winchester (King Arthur's round table and the cathedral)
From Southhampton, we drove east along the coast and then up to Gatwick.
In London, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Double Decker Bus Tour, British National Galleries (amazing collection). Numerous pubs.
The family was duly impressed and had a great time.

I will post some pictures at the photo album page later today.

I also had a chance to meet with folks from Pearson. They are adding three of my books to the Brilliant series - watch for those on December 5th in bookstores throughout the UK. I hope to have some sort of a free gift with purchase of those new additions to the series.

To follow up on some plans that we discussed at the seminars: I plan on upgrading the MrExcel server in 1-2 weeks and also Suat is working on the conversion to VBulletin. This should alleviate some of the slowdowns once the US shows up for work.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Bill
