@greatestgather @railway200 Ok that answers the question. I've had no tickets. I wonder if there are others who paid by PayPal who have experienced the same.

🚨 High Demand for The Greatest Gathering Tickets! 🚨 Wow! The response to The Greatest Gathering has been incredible- Due to the high demand, our ticketing website has been running a little slower than usual. Rest assured, there are plenty of tickets available.

For those of us of a certain age, this is a superb evocation of the nature and iniquities of the grammar school system. I was a grammar school boy myself but let's never forget the huge social and educational progress represented by comprehensive schooling bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

@KMScattergood @HCFEprincipal Yes, I finished my degree there in summer 2002. I worked there the summer of 2001 as a caretaker, and set up the hall for a whole staff meeting where Colin Flint discussed it being his last year.

@HCFEprincipal Very of its time but still feels modern. Some interesting contents too. Helena Kennedy gave the keynote, which I wasn't aware of her significance at the time, and the outgoing and incoming principals both gave a speech.

Protests were held in London #OnThisDay 2010 in opposition to planned spending cuts to further education and an increase of the cap on tuition fees by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. The protest involved between 30,000 and 50,000 demonstrators.

#MapOnATuesday We recently found this Birmingham city centre map in a City of Birmingham Information Department 1972 Guide to Birmingham. Wonder how many of those buildings still exist in 2024. Reference - LP 83.4 @LibraryofBham

Some haven't liked the term 'decimation' used by @Samfr- as he says it is accurate on 16-18 funding. But overall college income drop since 2010 is 3 times worse (30%) & for adults it is 6 times worse (60%). Not sure of the words for that - unbelievable? Criminal? #LoveOurColleges
Alastair Thomson@FinanceDirCFO

To say post-16 education has been decimated is, if anything, an understatement, as this report explains. Govt education policy has been crackers for as long as I can remember. It's time to put education at the heart of the economy. If we don't, we'll all suffer...
