EBG Part Deux



















Well, the connectivity wasn't all it was cracked up to be so I'm now back in the office with the EBG update.

What a week of activity. Our French hosts looked after us well with some amazing entertainment coupled with business visits, networking events and, of course the Final which took place at the Regional Government Headquarters followed by the Award Ceremont and Farewell Dinner at the Limousin Visitor Centre. Here are a few pics of the Fortrose Team and some of the events.

The Overall Winners were the Danish team but Fortrose walked off with the Team (& Teacher) prize.
The whole event was the being filmed and the Final was featured live on French TV

Our heartfelt thanks go to Francis Obry, Nadine Rossignol and their team for being wonderful hosts for this year's event.

As a judge, it was the most difficult year yet as every competing country really put a real effort into the business ideas, reports and presentations. (One evening, the judges' meeting went on until midnight in 35degrees of heat until we came to a consensus - sometimes this job can be a real struggle).
