Despite the vino flowing freely at last nights excellent social dinner, attendances for this mornings workshops have not been affected.

With only a few stragglers left to register, the MMU team have got chance to attend a few workshops and get chance to hear an interesting mix of topics from across the world. The poster presentation this afternoon gives us chance to show off our masterpiece! We'll see who walks off with the top prize...

The facilities at Parma uni have a classical grace one would expect from a 1,000 year old organisation but the toilets, being unisex, have caused some concern in the team. Sue Hornby in particular has yet to come to terms with them!

Speaking of Sue, she got to enjoy an impromtu tour of Parma courtesy of Mr Glass, when a 5 minute trip to the university turned in to a 90 minute aimless wander... That's their excuse for being late, prehaps they just enjoyed a lie in?!

Ciao for now

  1. Clearly a mistaken young man. In fact our 90 minute meander was a carefully planned touristic and education event designed to familiarise attendees with the environs of Parma. Following breakfast with Ellen Tise, IFLA President, we accompanied Ruud B. (the BOBCATSSS founder)to the morning presentations! Bob

  2. Sounds like you are all enjoying the culture (& vino) of Italy
