Usually we have staff training (aka 'coffee mornings') on Thursday between 9 and 10. Or sometimes starting at 9.15 (if the content doesn't demand an hour) to allow part-timers to attend as they start a little later.

However, there had been comments from said part-time staff that other times of the day would be useful. So we had one at 2pm this afternoon. Not a marvellously convenient time but I was interested in seeing how it affected attendance.

Not well. Too many of my colleagues involved in teaching or counter duties. Just 6 of us in the end - including the presenter. Number of part-timers present: zero.

Sigh.
