Tony D here. I just spent four days at the 'Do Lectures'. Started by David & Clare Hieatt three years ago, this not for profit series of talks is gaining quite a reputation. This years line up included inventor of the world wide web Tim Berners Lee, CEO of Local Motors (a crowd sourced car company) Jay Rogers, author of best seller 'Getting Things Done' David Allen, founder of BlinkNow Foundation (an amazing project in Nepal) Maggie Doyne, and artist and author Bill Drummond.  The diversity of the talks is just one of the things that makes this event so special. Another is that they take place in a field on the West coast of Wales. Instead of your usual hotel, guests are placed in shared tee pees and geometric domes. Add to this amazing locally sourced food that is cooked on site, a host of activities in between talks and you can see why this isn't just another TED. In a couple of weeks i strongly recommend going online and checking out all the talks at dolectures.co.uk.  But there will be something missing: the conversations that went on in between the lectures, over breakfast, lunch and dinner, not to mention in your very own private converted croft pub. There is something magical about the location of fforest farm (www.coldatnight.co.uk) that brings the very best out of people. It costs £1000 to attend (inc food and accomodation) which may seem quite a lot, but its these bits in between the lectures that make this very special event worth every penny.  Book early for next year if you don't want to be disappointed. Numbers are limited. 

William Fowler joins us today as a copywriter and gentlemen's grooming advisor.

Agel is going to be working in creative services on Nestea and Fair Trade whilst Rebecca suns herself in Sardinia this week.

And this is Dominique (Dom). She starts today as our new office manager. She apparently has a liking for anything gold, so we expect to see some gold-plated taps in the agency bathrooms soon.
