Blog your way to a bottle of bubbly with TravelUni
TravelUniFancy some champagne? A bottle could be heading your way very soon if you tell us about a training related event in which you've been involved lately. Have you been on a fam trip? A training course? A roadshow? Or perhaps something has helped spark some bright ideas about how you might improve your agency's business.
All you have to do is tell us in under 250 words and this will be added to the new ATP site. Each month, the best blog will be awarded a bottle of sparkling champagne. What better way to forget about the economic doom and despondency that's everywhere right now.

So, sit down in front of that keyboard, tell us about your learning experiences and send your 250 words (maximum) to Sally.Oakey@traveluni.com
