Cruisecamp – Barcamp on a Shannon Cruiser
Last Thursday, on July the 30th, 2009 I attended the Cruisecamp organised by Johnny Beirne from DownloadMusic. It was fantastic!
The cruise started in Carrick-on-Shannon, heading up and down the Shannon for about 45min each way, to give the nearly 75 attendants a pleasurable 3 hour event. The Cruiser itself was sponsored by the Leitrim County Enterprise Board. A little, but very tasty snack was sponsored and served by The Country Cooking Company and other spot prizes were offered by Reverb Studios, Absolute Safety, Leitrim Design House, Gilroy & Murphy Solar Systems and Wispy’s Discount Stores.
The event started at 6pm sharp with the boat leaving Carrick and some food beeing served. Afterwards James marting from TeamLife hosted a networking Bingo, in which we had to fill out a card with 12 questions like for example “Who has Blue Eyes?” or “Who has been abroad in the last 4 weeks?”, giving the name, company and hobby of the person as an answer. This game was great, as it mixed the tables again, that had firmely settled for the food.
After the Bingo, networking went on all over the boat, at the bar (where unfortunately a pint cost 4.40€), at the tables and on the fore and aft deck. I got to talk to about a dozend people, making some very intersting contacts. I believe that it was overall a very successfull event for all attendants.
I will certainly be going to the next event again and I hope it’ll maybe run for an hour more.
