#TAL10 Unawards
The Unawards are from 6.00pm in the top bar at Chilli White, just
behind the Corn Exchange in central Leeds. We are busy musing over
your nominations for winners right now, to decide who will receive the
gorgeous prizes we've bought at Latif’s Wholesale, Digbeth. Let us
know if you can think of some deserving winners for these precious
things.

#TAL10 Friday night curry

you’re around please join us for a warm-up curry. We’ll be meeting at
7.00pm in Northbar (New Briggate, central Leeds) for a pint before
sitting down to eat in Akbars at 8.30pm.

Once again, we'll be making our way up from the Isle of Wight and look forward to another stimulating weekend with like-minded hyperlocals.

Hope to start adding our tuppence worth to the (excellent) proposed sessions tomorrow.

Hi - We don't need to book in for the un-awards event at Chilli White
do we? I'm assuming it's just turn up if you can?

No just turn up the more the merrier.

Remember people safety in numbers. Every prize must go, we are taking
*nothing* back to the office, so the more people who turn up the more
the prizes will be spread around. If only two people turn up, you will
be taking a bag each home.

When I was working in Leeds, Ackbars was my favourite place to eat,
they do Naan breads like Zulu shields.

Curry houses in Stoke need to know about these Naan's so plenty
pictures please.

Are they as good as the 5* Naan at Sangam in Stoke though?

I'm going out on a limb. Better. Maybe they can attempt to make
something similar, but on a godzilla scale.

I only ever had a garlic and cheese naan there (yep, they looked at me
funny for asking for garlic and cheese), but it was so yummy.

Due to the size of it, I'd leave off the rice.

I should be able to make it to this, but won't get there til 8ish. How
will I recognise you all? Will someone be wearing a pink carnation?

Hoping to make it along for the Friday night get together.

In case we miss you in Northbar, is Akbars the one on Eastgate or Greek Street?

Looking forward to leaving the Isle of Wight bubble tomorrow.

Cheers, Sal

Dear All,

 

It was great to meet many of you on Saturday; hopefully I will meet the rest of you - or get more time to talk to you - at the next Un-Conference!

 

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve posted a quick note from the event on the website for the Digital Participation Consortium: http://www.digitalparticipation.com/news/talk-about-local-un-conference-report - it was on behalf of this group on Saturday that I posted a couple of quick tweets.

 

I’d be delighted to keep across developments from the sector, so hopefully I’ll pick up plenty of nuggets from this list, but in case I miss them please also feel free to send material of interest to me.

 

We’re also always interested in news items related to Digital Inclusion, Digital Life Skills, Digital Participation or Media Literacy – many of which are featured in our monthly bulletins. So, if you’ve an item you would like to share (in 250 words or less!) in future e-bulletins, please email us.

 

The latest e-bulletin can be found at: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/advice/media_literacy/medlitpub/bulletins/issue31/

 

Plug over!

 

I hope you’re all enjoying the continuing sunshine,

Damian
