Wetherspoons Meeting
In a more relaxed setting than usual, we all met to finalise and present lesson
plans. However it was a case of getting in drinks (non-alcoholic, I assure) with
meals with everyone. We were given out our hoodies, with some very interesting
colours selected by some individuals. You know who you are. We later went into
our seperate lesson groups, which were Sports and the Olympics, English and
Science. We discussed our lessons, and were then mixed into groups where there
was a representative from each lesson into 1 group. Once the science group had
finished their lengthy lesson plan, we moved onto various other topics that
would face us in Tanzania. Once this was cleared up, we were relieved of our
duties, we left the last formal meeting of the 2010-2012 group in the UK. Next
is packing night on Tuesday 10th July, and then it is the trip to Tanzania.

2012 Beach Clean
Today we we’re out in St. Bees cleaning up all the litter and debris which was scattered along the beach. We all assembled at the beach front and were allocated one of two jobs from the Don, bag holder (I was a bag holder, it’s a very important job! :D) or litter picker, we then formed little groups of three to get the job done faster!
Each group started on a different bit of the beach, which wasn’t all that messy. But then we got further along, nearer the beck where there’s some construction work going on, and the hard work really started… for the pickers. I’m just kidding, we all got stuck in an we found a number of peculiar things.
Holly kept finding bits of clothing and had me convinced that someone had been murdered on the construction site. Then Crosby couldn’t keep himself from finding the only tampons in the litter, sigh*… I think a few people had a points game going on to find the most obscure things in the litter. But all in all we got a load of bin bags filled and came out feeling more helpful than we did going in :)
It was quite a fun day and one of the last days we were all together before we finally set off to Tanzania! Personally I can’t wait! And I’m sure everyone else is feeling the build-up of excitement too! :D
