Dear Don,
Hope you are well! I thought you might like an update on the progress of the Cicero Classics competition.
We have entries from as far afield as Liverpool and Sheffield as well as local entries from Hereford, Worcester and Cheltenham, so it should be a good day (even though most schools are only bringing one or two students!)
I almost got a celebrity guest - the novelist and past president of the Classical Association Lindsey Davis tried to rearrange her schedule to fit us in but found it impossible in the end. She has sent us a signed book as a prize and also French and German versions for the winners in France and Germany.
I am really pleased with the endorsements, sponsorship and prizes I have managed to find. Please look at the sponsores >UK page where you will see the list (including yourself : thank you again!)
You can see the running order of the day on the main UK page.
We tested the computer program last week and successfully linked with the schools in France and Germany (although the German end could not get their camera to work). We will test it again this week and plan our 'Eurovision- type' conversations!
I'll let you know how it goes.
Very best wishes,
from Anne
