Cosgrove and Hot Animation

Ok, so on Thursday (31st of May) I finally plucked up enough courage to phone both Cosgrove Hall and Hot Animation.
I successfully managed to speak to Chris Bowden from Cosgrove Hall who I emailed yesterday. I should be able to visit the studio sometime in July. He has asked me to provide him with some dates that I would like to go down on. I still need to find out which dates would be suitable for me to suggest.
I haven't been so lucky with Hot Animation though. The first time I called I got put on hold, sent to an answer machine asking me if I wanted to re-record my message and then cut off! I phoned back and explained what had happened. The gentleman at the other end explained that Lianne (who I was trying to contact) wasn't in which was why I was sent to an answer machine. He connected me to the machine again and so I left a message. I'm thinking it would be a lot wiser of me to call them and try again as I see the likelyhood of them calling back a complete stranger who sounded very nervous, very slim. I shall try again on Monday.
