Darren Slade

Personal news: I'm leaving the Echo titles to take a job as content manager with @iplicit. I can't think of many jobs that would have persuaded me to leave journalism, but this was a terrific opportunity. bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23340306.…

@iplicit @maxwhitlock1 Great photo @DarrenSladeCopy, inspiring talk from Max and I enjoyed hearing from his wife how schools can use activity and sport (esp gymnastics) to improve learning.

Looks like just a light dusting of snow in Birmingham ahead of #SAASHOW.

@SAA_Show On the way with @Bexta1975 and looking forward to seeing the @iplicit stand.

✨ 1️⃣ One day to go! In just 24 hours we will be opening the doors to the #SAASHOW, and we can’t wait to welcome our community for a day of #education inspiration and innovation. It’s not too late to register and be a part of our #FanSAAStic event: hubs.la/Q02XJv9M0

@philjjd @ParamountPlusUK Ah, the turn it off and on again response!

@DarrenSladeCopy @ParamountPlusUK So far, support has been standard check OS and apparently up to date. Restart WiFi and device. Reinstall app. That’s not worked either.

@ParamountPlusUK logged in tonight for the series finale of Frasier and have been greeted with a cookie prompt. It will not close when I have a save settings, so I cannot watch anything 😤

It's #SiftedSummit day 2. Follow along for updates from the tech and startup worlds as @DarrenSladeCopy reports.

@Journo_Jose @dailyecho Best of luck, Jose. You've done a grand job in Southampton.

After two incredible years which flew by I have logged off for the last time at the @dailyecho. I will always look by at my time at the Echo with gratitude as it taught me to be a journalist and for the friendships I made!

@AlexSmithEcho @Bournemouthecho @BmthEchoSport Congratulations, Alex. What a great fit. You'll be missed in the news team I'm sure but you'll be brilliant in this role.

Pleased to say I have started in the role of sports journalist @Bournemouthecho (@BmthEchoSport). I’ll be covering #afcb, Poole Pirates and every sport in between! If you’ve got a sports story, get in touch via the link in my bio! 🍒🏴‍☠️🎾🏏⛳️🏉⚽️🚴‍♂️

@TomJCrocker That's a loss for Cherries fans, Tom. Being a sports journalist is a lot of people's dream job but it's also hard work under huge pressure. You did it brilliantly and were always unflappable as those print deadlines approached. You're sure to be great at what you do next.

✍️ 🍒 Yesterday marked my final game covering #afcb for the Bournemouth Echo.

@journo_maya @NCTJ_news Ah well done, Maya! A proud moment.

@MelVass24 @bournemouthuni @inspiredAUB Thank you Mel. It's called the Improv Railway yet he's spent 14 hours on coaches to get there!

@DarrenSladeCopy @bournemouthuni @inspiredAUB This sounds really cool Darren, hope it goes well for them

My son Nathan is at #EdFringe with the @bournemouthuni and @inspiredAUB Improv Society. They'd appreciate a follow or repost - or a visit, obvs, if you're in Edinburgh this week and fancy some free afternoon comedy at a Brewdog.

Delighted that my new book is available to buy from Fantom Publishing. To Be Frank... is the authorised biography of much loved actor Frank Thornton, most famous for Are You Being Served? and Last of the Summer Wine. #AreYouBeingServed #LastoftheSummerWine fantompublishing.co.uk/product/frankt…

@VikkiSlade72 @BHealthbus Thank you for coming along to support @BHealthbus and its incredible work, Vikki.

So delighted that @BHealthbus has been awarded the Kings Award. Such amazing work they do for those who are forced to rough sleep. Glad I was able to pop into their celebration today
