    Skill Show - NEC Birmingham



    .

    Last week I was at the Skill Show in Birmingham.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/summits...7637800377825/

    Its a show case competition for apprentices and trainees
    to demonstrate their ability and skill. The winners and runners
    up will be considered for selection for the World Skills competition
    in Brazil in 2015.

    The last one was this year in Germany and the time before was
    in the X-Cell centre in the London Docklands.

    The guys and guyetts compete in their chosen subject after
    beating the competition in regional heats throughout the year.
    To get to the finals they will have competed in at least one
    regional competition.

    Its an excellent event and although I was only involved in the
    Skill-fridge side of it, the whole event was huge with 700
    competitors in 70 different disciplines.
    There was an official opening ceremony and closing ceremony
    and the whole thing lasting over four days. Early starts and late
    finishes, the whole thing was run like the Olympics and is referred
    to as the Skill Olympics.................

    See the photos of the Skill-fridge on the link above.

    Regards

    Rob

    Is that you with the HRP case Rob?

    One of the guys from our firm was entered into the world skills completion in Germany this year on the plumbing side! I think he came 2nd, maybe you met him? and he even got to meet Nick Clegg.
    The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

    I'm in a few of the photos but not directly with the case.
    they were handed out to all the competitors.

    I saw Nick Clegg but unfortunately I went about telling
    everyone that it was David Cameron ...................................

    Shows what I know about politics........
