Sorry Stuart I can't make it this Saturday but I have copied your email and forwarded it to the Liverpool LUG mailing list. Hopefully there'll be some takers on there. Good luck with the course, I hope it goes really well.<br>

This is also the second send because the system ate the first one.Apologies to Les if he ends up releasing the original.<br>
<br>Well things have just crept up on me and I think it may well be this weekend (Sat 6th).<br>
<br>There are two caveats to this! Firstly, it will be held at Technium cast in Bangor (<a href="http://www.techniumcast.com/joomla/" target="_blank">http://www.techniumcast.com/joomla/</a>)
The train will get you there if you do not drive. The Chester to Bangor
leaves at 6.50 in the morning and will get you there for 7.45am. It is
then just a short bus ride down the road. Cost of the return ticket is
~£25. It may be cheaper bought in advance.<br>
<br>Secondly, no food or drink is provided. We have very graciously
been offered the room for minimal cost, which im afraid does not
include either lunch or refreshments, so it's a case of BYO (Bring Your
Own). There is a canteen there, but I cannt gaurentee it will be open!
I will find out and clarify this.<br>
<br>The course is a one day course, taught by Dr Rob Shepard. He
teaches networking and system management at Bangor University and is
very good at explaining it all in simple terms to simple folk such as
myself ;) I would go so far as to say exceptional in both skills and
training.<br>
<br>It will run from 9am until 5pm ish. (With a few stragglers wanting
to play and ask more questions etc I suspect it may be nearer 6)<br><br>The course itself will cover the following:<br><br>Networking,
including subnetting, and the theory behind it (ie ISO model, ARP,RARP,
MAC addressing etc as well as high level views)<br>
<br>Routing, Introducing routing and how inter lan routing works. Building on the previous topic.<br><br>Switching
AND VLANS. This topic will cover both the fundamentals of switching as
well as more practical parts, such as using wireshark to look into what
is happening in the network. <br>
<br>If time allows Rob has also agreed to touch on DNS as well.<br><br>Throughout the day there will be hands on and such. It won't just be talk!<br>'<br>There
is a small cost for the room and obviously Rob would like to be paid.
Therefore if we can get 15 people, the cost will be £100 per person,
payable on the day. This is an exceptional opportunity and i'd advise
grabbing it with both hands. <br>
<br>I need to know at the latest by tommorow confirmed names and
numbers. Please bear in mind also that should someone who says they
will turn up, not turn up, I personally will have to pay for their
places! <br><br>Could someone also please forward this on to Liverpool LUG.<br>
<br>Let me know ASAP. To make this work we need a minimum of 15 people. (Well 14 if you consider I am going ;) )<br></div></div><font color="#888888"><br>Stuart</font>
