ALT–C 2004 boat trip

Follow-up to E–learning Advisor covered in whipped cream, ALT–C 2004, Day 1 from Transversality - Robert O'Toole

This evening we went on the ALT-C boat trip with about 100 other delegates on a boat on the River Exe. It was sunny when we embarked.

And then it rapidly got cold and wet.

After wine and some nice food Rhonda Riachi, Director of ALT, persuaded me to dance with her on the boat's dance floor to some rather funky 70's disco music. She really is a seriously good dancer. I did my best, but probably looked rather sad. However, this clearly gave the impression that it was OK for anyone to join in, and soon the dance floor was full. Chris C, Steve B and Mark Childs joined the fun. At one point the boat started to rock alarmingly. The cream of UK learning technologists could have been wiped out in a maritime disaster. And no one would have noticed!

    Take it from me, these 'cat's can move. My trained dance technique needs a proper warm-up routine, which would have been difficult while wrapped in a freezing wet blanket, so I stayed seated and watched the ensuing frenzy.

    I just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to sign any of your expenses claims; you're obviously having far too much fun.

    Fun is free. Unfortunately the fine wine wasn't, nor the headache tablets.
