Icebreaker

Posted by Jo Cook on May 16, 2013

Hi Addy,

Just wondering if you'd made any progress with the Icebreaker stuff at all? I know I haven't thought about it at al, and we're supposed to be getting an idea together for some date fairly soon- would a hangout or skype call be useful?

Hi Jo,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, was off racing at the end of last week and this week has been silly.  Still not had time to go through emails.

Progress:
  • emailed Mike Parker and suggested a 30min humorous geo talk
  • thought he might also help with geo-pub quiz if we did one
Other ideas
  • lego map competition (not sure how this would work but......)

Hi Addy,

Are we definitely going to go for a sit-down meal like at the AGI? I think that works quite well. I like the idea of a pub quiz as well- I think that will go down well, if you think of the current success of things like GeoGuessr. Not so sure about lego though, but meal, quiz, after-dinner humorous speech and drink will be fine, I think.

So... I might start a todo list for this- of all the things we need to think about- we are using basecamp after all! Sound like a plan?

Should we try and get a skype chat this week?  I am free everyday except friday.  Will look at GeoGuesser.  Mike Parker said he would help with quiz, he would be a good quiz master.

Food - what you thinking?  What is the budget for it?

Jo Cook on May 20, 2013:

We could chat later today (after lunch), otherwise I'm out every day except Friday :-)

Glad to hear Mike Parker has confirmed.

I think there should be some information about food budget somewhere, I'll take a look...

This afternoon sounds good.  Confirmed is a bit of a strong term, but just about there.....

1430?  What number is best to get you on?

Jo Cook on May 20, 2013:

14.30 sounds good- skype is fine, my username is archaeogeek
