What happens when you try to create a physical version of a testing forum?

In this memory: Diana Dromey

This is Manchester on the 21st of September 2022 – the afternoon before day 1 of TestBask UK 2022. Diana and I are exasperated having wasted about 30 minutes attempting to build a relic from a previous MoT era 🫠😅. While I had no input in the idea as it was before my time at MoT, the original plan was to have this sheet hung up to recreate The Club (https://club.ministryoftesting.com) in real life. Folks would be able to stick sticky notes in different sections. It didn't work as intended so Diana and I decided to scrap it and fold it back up into its container never to be seen by the wonderful TestBash attendees the next day. I wonder if it still exists somewhere. 🤔
