Looks like @amcewen@mastodon.me.uk was wearing a Santa Hat at Ignite last week. It suits his Hawaiian shirt me thinks. I know what will be on the DoES Christmas card this year

Well that was lovely, a great turn out for Ignite Liverpool. 12 great speakers and one great Mc Ewen @amcewen@mastodon.me.uk with the intro bits.

We hadn't had one in 6 months and I am planning on not letting it be that long again. Maybe the next stop will be New Brighton. #ignitetalks #ignite

After what I thought was a shaky start attracting speakers for this Ignite event in Birkenhead. It appears that people were keen to do it - with 13 speakers so far. Notable here is @ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz

Come along next Tuesday (25th) and see @amcewen@mastodon.me.uk Introduce all our speakers.

If you’ve never been before — don’t worry! Ignite is as friendly as it gets. You’ll find plenty of lovely people to chat to, maybe grab something to eat before things kick off, and settle in for a night of five-minute lightning talks that’ll make you think, laugh, and see the world a little differently.

Tickets via the Ignite Liverpool website.

Being asked by two separate people called Kate clearly acts as some sort of a catalyst in my mind. The next Ignite is on it's way. Late June

You are very lucky this is not a Kate only edition - all speakers must be called Kate.

I have gotten to the stage in life where I complain that LCR are missing out on important places in the Tourist documents. And that they offer shallow experiences to visitors and their claims that places are sustainable that don't even have bike parking outside is ridiculous. I'll mention it to Ed Gommon for his next Echo piece.

I went to Birkenhead to look at venues for Ignite. What a mad road layout they have with what felt like a 6 lane highway running through the middle (not shown). I had to walk back on myself to get a couple of venues as there was no pedestrian access.

Hi @BBCRD@social.bbc I have a mad question for you.

Do the Videos from the Video Nation archive still exist somewhere? https://www.bbc.co.uk/videonation/articles/u/uk_alivein.shtml

There is a user on Reddit asking for a copy of the video featured on that page as it is of his mother-in-law.

I tried a few places where it might be held now or connecting organisations sadly with no luck.
