Kia Ora another meeting!

Hey everyone we have had a meeting again on the 20.03.2013,  Bushra and Yvette were the only one's who attended. Apologies from Alisha, Antonette did not show or contact us. John did not know about the meeting as we did not have his contact details. So........ Bushra and Yvette allocated themselves to tasks, which everyone can get from Yvette. Please attend meetings as they are really important for our progress on our magazine, as this is a team effort.

First Group Meeting !!!!

Hey guys !

We had our first group meeting on 18.03.2013 and I don't know how to change the date on this post back to Monday's date. Anyway, we had a meeting with just Yvette and Bushra and the other four people from our group were not present yesterday. So Bushra and Yvette decided to do an activity each ( which I have already talked about in my previous post). So we have decided to have another group meeting on Wednesday 20/03/2013 in our lovely common room and this time hoping that everyone shows up. Except one person as I do not have his contact details so tomorrow when we see him in one of our other lab's we will find out his details and hoping in the future it all works out. So much to do and so little time. It's not much, but I can still see progress being made. And sometimes that's all we can ask of ourselves.

Have fun for now :) will keep you all posted on what happens next ;)

Ciao for now!

Who is doing what?!?!?!?!?

Hey guys!

I am Bushra and we are suppose to introduce ourselves by saying who is doing what? As you all must know we are creating a 30 page glossy magazine. So my job is to find 5 constructed attractions in Wales and get back to my group. So will keep you posted on how far we all get in creating our wonderful magazine. 

Ciao for now :)

The Start of awe-inspiring


Well this afternoon has been an interesting one. Beginning a blog that seems to be very exciting, confusing and frustrating because technology tends to make things a lot more complicated then it truly is.

Our group consists of five people; John (project manager), Antoinette, Alisha, Bushra and Kianee. Our group name called Any Road, a saying that Northern England tend to say instead of anyway. This blog will have information about the British Isles, countries including England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Eire (Republic of Ireland).

Any Road Enterprises hopes to keep all our bloggers informed on our discussions, action points, and feedback from our class sessions, the progress we make in our project and questions and queries of our own.

Watch out for this space, it will be awe-inspiring.
