Oxford Evening...

Over to Oxford for this event:

Geography Conference Organised by the GA's Independent Schools Working Group: Focus on the New Geography - A Level, IB, GCSE and KS3 changes and what they mean to us all
Monday 2 March 2009
St Edward's School, Oxford
This one day Conference is designed for all teachers of KS3 to A Level. Lectures and workshops will be given on topics relating to the new A Level syllabi, IB, GCSE and KS3 (including Common Entrance). Lecturers will, we hope, include Eleanor Rawlings MBE, Dr Garrett Nagle, Dr Roger Trend, John Widdowson, Paul Guinness, Paul Baker, Dr Bob Digby and David Holmes. We will be inviting publishers and authors to be with us for the day. GA resources will be available to order. There will be a lunch and a chance to meet and discuss with colleagues.

Sunny, and then in to St. Giles. Parked up by the "Eagle and Child". It was a pub where J.R.R Tolkien used to drink. Also known locally as the 'bird and baby'...

Up Broad Street and noticed an Anthony Gormley figure on the roof, which had apparently only been there for a couple of weeks. Wandered through the colleges from there, and back round via Radcliffe Camera to Old Tom, and a drink in the 'Old Tom'. More pics in my new FLICKR set.

Then it was down to the castle, and had meal and took a few pics, before heading back up to the King's Arms for a swift half with a friend. Interestingly, in all the 3 pubs that I went in, there was a group of people talking about this young lady...

Nice Bath Ale.
Back to the Travelodge for a few small jobs to complete, and to watch Monty Halls' Great Escape which is very enjoyable.
Tomorrow, will be online at the conference with some updates via TWITTER. Tag: #iswgox
