1ST WEEK OF JULY MEANS HENLEY FOR SOME BUT SHEFFIELD’S THE PLACE TO BE

My bags are packed ready for another brilliant Children’s Media Conference in Sheffield.  This year is the tenth anniversary which is something to celebrate.   If you have anything to do with children’s media (telly, games, online, publishing…) it is definitely the place to be and not just for those of us working in the UK.  Each year the international opportunities grow.  But it doesn’t lose it’s goodnatured, small industry feel.   This year I am once more  on the blogging team.   All of the sessions are blogged so nobody has to miss out.  You’ll be able to find the blogs, including mine, at www.thechildrensmediaconference.org

I’ve posted two blogs already.  One involved a large onion for reasons that, well it was one of those ‘you had to be there’ moments and the other goes something like:

Jayne’s Guide to Sheffield

Sheffield Sheffield, it’s a wonderful town
The Hubs are up and the Crucible’s down,
Cinema 2 is in the hole in the ground,
Sheffield, Sheffield, it’s wonderful town!

Which I think goes to show that once  again ‘you have to be there’.
