The Prize had been kindly sponsored by Redgate, who provide Essential tools for SQL Server and .Net Professionals.

David Tims Collects his Prize from NxtGenUG Co-Founder Richard Costall.

David said...

“Wow! A year of great talks, another great NxtGenUG Fest and to top it all off I win an Xbox360. I have been tempted with consoles for a while now (yes, another Halo fan here) so good timing.

My thanks go out to RedGate who sponsored this prize, for both the prize itself and the support they give the community through NxtGenUG, and of course, thank you NxtGenUG for creating such a great forum where we can learn new things, share what we know and most of all have fun (and pizza)!”
