The Nursery Pavilion was our home for the day, providing a wonderful view of the back of the iconic Media Centre. There were 45 exhibitors and hundreds of visitors during the day, covering a very wide spectrum of people involved in the surveying industry. Throughout the day there were 20 minute Masterclasses in the North and South ‘Techno Hubs’ on a huge variety of topics. Everything from latest software innovations to new approaches to old problems were covered. Two Keynote sessions were held in the Media Centre, giving us a chance to have a wonderful view of the ground – and of course also hear industry leaders speak! Mark Combes, TSA Council Member, gave a talk on ‘Movement, Measurement and Modelling’ which was very well received.

A very enjoyable day all round and here’s hoping that the recent resurgence of the England cricket team is matched by better times for all in the surveying profession.
