We have 24 spaces free for people wishing to take part in the event and I am going to see if we can get some of the vendors from the User Group sponsoring a prize or two as well as hopefully attend ( step forward vendors !! ) as we will also be hosting a nearest the pin and longest drive competition. The cost for the afternoon's Golf is £27.50 per person including food after Golf plus a breakfast butty before ( hence the extra £2.50 from the web price ). Skill is not important it is a fun day out and then in the evening we can all enjoy the User Group event which I am also planning. The first Tee times are confirmed for 11am so assume to arrive at Ullesthorpe around 10am to enjoy the pre golf snacks and tea/coffee :) , we will finish eating approx. 5.00pm in time to relax for an hour before the evening user group sessions start. I will post a new meeting post soon for more info. on the evening sessions. If you are interested in confirming your Golf slot please post your confirmation comment here ( NOTE please include your full name when confirming your place ) and send a cheque for £ 27.50 made payable to Combined Knowledge Ltd, 2 The Terrace, Rugby Road, Lutterworth LE17 4BW, Leicestershire.

I have managed to get another room for the SharePoint 2010 Evolution Conference in April and basically I want to make it a community driven tales from the trenches session room with people from the user group giving sessions on how they have worked / learnt and implimented the product. This is a call for speakers from our user group to submit sessions to me with a title and brief abstract of what you would like to share. Topics can be on anything you want they just need to be ways you made SharePoint work in your envoironment or a clients envoironment. If you want to bring your client along to talk with you thats great. I have 15 sessions up for grabs and you don't need to be a seasoned speaker to take part. Any speaker who gets a slot gets free admission to the conference and to the conference party. If we get enough people attending I may also be able to sort your hotel room out if you are travelling in. First choice will be given to people who are not yet speaking in the current tracks. Email your session ideas are ask any questions to: Steve@combined-Knowledge.com The web site can be found here along with details on the current session tracks: http://www.sharepointevolutionconference.com Looking forward to hearing from you all.
