BDA Conference 1

A short walk along the Clyde path and over the Bells Bridge brought me to the SECC. There was a commotion as I came towards the hall; a flurry of activity caused by photographers.

Had Barry Cockcroft joined the exodus from government posts? Had Gordon Brown at last given way to Eddie Crouch? (No but I have just found out that Alan Johnson has left the DoH for the Home Office so who will act on Jimmy Steele’s report, initiated by Johnson?). A: Andy Burnham from Culture Media & Sport.

No such luck. It was a meeting of the Lloyds shareholders furious that the value of their shares has plummeted since the takeover of HBOS.

The exhibition hall seems very quiet this morning but this is a mainly academic meeting inspite of the increasing trade presence. Very helpful conversations so far with Bridge2Aid and Royal Navy. Onwards.

Don’t forget to go to look at www.ChallengeDoh.com to take part in their survey.
