Thank you for all the feedback you have given it is
really good and constructive, I hope we can address some of those points that
you raised and make the next one even better.
We sent out the book vouchers on Sunday night from contactus@sqlbits.com We have
managed to be able to extend the offer to include postage and packaging so you
won't have to pay a penny.
Some people with quicktime installed had some problems, which should have
been resolved. If you have any further problems or don't get an voucher when you
expected one then let us know using the email above.

contact them to unregister.

If you can't come then please unregister so those waiting can
come.

The agenda for SQLBits is now live at http://www.sqlbits.com/information/Agenda.aspx.
There is also more information on the Group By http://www.sqlbits.com/information/GroupBy.aspx. This
is being sponsored by Solid Quality Mentors. We have hired a bowling alley in
Reading so it should be a good laugh, we'll have some prizes for best score,
worst score etc. If you have registered for SQLBits can you please update
whether you are coming to the Group By as we need to know numbers ASAP.
There is also a travel section http://www.sqlbits.com/information/Travel.aspx which
provides details of addresses and also coaches from and to the train station.
Redgate are kindly sponsoring these coaches which will also be available in the
evening to go to the Group By. The times for the coaches are
on the travel page, spaces are limited to the numbers that said they were coming by train.
The travel page also include details of hotels as I am sure some of you
want to stay over in Reading on the Saturday night.
Idera have also agreed to become platinum sponsors. They will be providing
each attendee with something special. We'll tell you more on the day.
Can I please remind you that if you cannot come please unregister with
Microsoft events. We have a wait list of people that want to come along and can
only do so f those that are not going to come unregister.

We're full to bursting
|
|
Mon, 17 Sep 2007 16:26:47 GMT

SQLBits is now full, Yippee.
If you want to register then you will be put on a waitlist as people
unregister you will be notified if you come off the wait list.
If you have registered and cannot come, please please, unregister. We have a
fixed number we can allow in on the day and if you registered and don't turn up
it means someone else will have missed out. So make sure you un-register if you
are not able to come.
We will be running more of these next year, there are 10s of thousands
of database professionals in the UK and we only have limited space at these
events, so not everyone can attend.
In order to get the best attendance in the future we will be reviewing the
attendee and registration list after this event, anyone registered that does not
attend may find it impacts their future attendance at these events.
