SAGT 2012 - Arrival and Awards

The first of a number of posts relating to the Scottish Association of Geography Teachers' Conference which I visited for the 7th time last weekend.
It was a long way from home - drove to Peterborough, train to Edinburgh then change at Waverley for Glasgow. Sounds straight forward, and would have been if not for delayed train to Edinburgh, the usual chaos at Waverley, and then a train failure followed by being packed on the slow train to Glasgow.

Arrived later than planned, which meant no sight-seeing, and met up with Ken Lacey from the Ordnance Survey, and popped out into town for food and Arran ale.

The following morning, the train to Crossmyloof followed by a short walk into Hutcheson's Grammar school. After saying hello to a fair few familiar faces, it was time to set up the room for my session.
Before that though, there was the SAGT awards.
There was good news here as two books that I edited for the GA, written by Bob Lang and Paul Cornish picked up an award from SAGT.
