Photos from the 1999 Corepoint (now IBM Voice Systems) function

A medieval banquet at Beaulieu

I was unable to send the presentation home because it was too large to send via email, even after it had been zipped, and it was certainly too large to fit on a floppy disk, and I have no zip drive at home, and I had no CD writer at work.

Extracting the photos discoloured them at all colour settings, and in both Paint and Imaging, so discoloured photos must have been sitting in the clipboard. However, I got round this by taking a screengrab, pasting it into Paint, copying the area I wanted and pasting it into another instance of Paint. After all this, I zipped up the photos I had extracted the hard way, and sent them home, where I unzipped them and converted them into JPEGs (so that the browser will display them) before uploading them.


Near tables Left: no faces recognised
Centre: left from nearside: ?, empty space, ?, Wendy-Ann Coyle, Mark Wetherall?, Mrs Sanders?, Jeremy Sanders. No faces on right were recognised.
Right: left from nearside: Dan Lee, ?, ?, Evaristus Mainsah, me, Noel Rooney?
Far tables are too far away to recognise any faces

Same tables, slightly different angle, picture quality comparable to Channel 5! On my table, you can now see Malc Couldwell at the end, next to Dan Lee, and you can also see on the right of the table an unidentified female, and Tim Poultney, who is so tall you can't see anyone else beyond him!

Why is there no Channel 5 logo at the top left? With such low picture quality there should be, but you can just about pick out: ?, Wendy-Ann Coyle, Anne Lankester, ?, Dale Hewitt, me, Phil Rowley, then the Master of Ceremonies.

Same again, only with a better picture, and starting at Wendy-Ann. These people, including myself, had to go around kissing everyone of the opposite sex in the room - and for me this included the wives of my then first 3 lines of management!

Here I am standing up drinking, while sat at the table are Dan Lee, Evaristus Mainsah, Richard whose surname I've forgotten and Noel Rooney. (The edge of Malc Couldwell slips in here as well.)

Me and Noel Rooney.
This one was taken from the other side, and features Phil Rowley, Tim Poultney and Mike Myrtek on the left.
