High Noon in the seminar room or The Saddle Bag in use for moderation
Objectively speaking, our saddlebag is a felt bag that you can discreetly place in the seminar room as a work aid. Looking more closely, it's a truly clever material bag for the Neuland Werkwand®, pinboards and flipcharts, and many other applications.
Saddlebag ? Ha! At first glance, that might sound a bit odd to you. That's supposed to be a saddlebag?
Saddlebags – that sounds like cowboys, high noon, and adventure! But also like the first bicycle with cool saddlebags on the rear rack. For the cool kids of the 70s, they might be subtly decorated with bright cat's eyes, Pril flowers, or, super cool, a branded saddlebag simply with the three stripes of a sportswear manufacturer. Only then did you stand a chance against the even cooler kids who rode around the neighborhood on their Bonanza bikes.
In the end it didn't matter, because you all hatched some wild children's adventures together anyway.
Do you have that feeling of saddlebags and freedom again now?
Let's take that with us into the day. If you look at it more closely, you'll also have some adventures to overcome in the seminar room, and our saddlebag will help you with those today.
"This bag owes its name to its saddle-shaped design. Like a saddle, it can be attached to the handles of the Neuland Werkwand®. Magnets integrated into the sides of the bag ensure a secure hold. This also works with pinboards and flipcharts, as well as on the armrests of chairs like the Neuland® Zentoo."
Four small sewn-on pockets, two each at the front and back, allow for the practical storage of all kinds of workshop materials such as markers, moderation cards or Estatics.
Super secure and practical for use with the Werkwand® and pinboard systems. All the materials you need are readily available. Need markers? Simply fill the saddlebag with your favorites. Need presentation cards ? Sort them into your preferred colors.
It is also very practical if the bag can simply be hung over the armrests of the chair.
This way, you can quickly provide the materials if, for example, your participants need to gather in small groups. Of course, we think it would be perfect if you hung one of these filled bags over the armrest of EACH participant's seminar chair. Okay, we know that's not always feasible, but you could start with 4-5 saddlebags . Then this announcement would be practical:
"Please form small groups around the participants who have a moderator's bag on their armrests."
After that, the group usually disperses to split into smaller groups. Once a group has formed, they immediately have the materials at hand and can begin working. No one has to go searching for, or rather hunting for, materials. Everything is simply there, very conveniently.
Is there a group for whom brainstorming outdoors is the new smoking? 
Is there a group that doesn't like to sit still?
Well, then send them outside for some physical activity and let them discuss things there. A bit of exercise might just spark some great ideas. 
Depending on how you plan to analyze the results later, you can provide either static files – even up to DIN A5 size – or moderation cards. When preparing, just remember to also provide the appropriate markers.
The magnets really do provide a secure hold. It's almost impossible to stop them from snapping together immediately. Snap! Securely hung.
For the group that prefers to meet in the coffee corner, you can set up the materials like this. There's definitely no way to hang the saddlebag here. Thanks to the stiffness of the felt, the saddlebag can also stand freely on the table. Try doing that with a regular saddlebag!
There are definitely countless other ways to hang the bag, and we're quite sure you'll come up with many more.
The real secret to why you can hang our saddlebag on small doorknobs, for example, without it slipping off. *Drumroll*
This is our non-slip bag corner. Ta-da! A black anti-slip film is sewn across the entire surface. You can really rely on it. Even if you, an unsuspecting person entering the room from the other side, accidentally touch the door handle, the bag will stay put.
Thanks to its subtle grey color, you can combine the bag with any outfit.
This makes it very versatile; even in outdoor use, it does not stand out due to its bright colors and does not distract from the brainstorming process.
It's never too early to start collecting ideas. Don't your best ideas sometimes come to you during a walk in the fresh air? Are you constantly rummaging through your handbag or diaper bag for writing materials? We can help with that.
Thanks to Anne and Kjell-Milo, who is completely unaware of the photoshoot of his stylish stroller.
