Swings and Roundabouts

Hi folks,

First of all, I've hopefully said it to you all by now but if I haven't, a BIG thank you for all your help both at the conference and before it. Everyone seems to have really gotten something useful out of it and I hope to share with you the results of the evaluations (and their implications) at our next team meeting.

I'm back in the office this week after the whirlwind of the conference last week but it doesn't stop there as it's back to the swings (or roundabouts) this weekend for the start of the Coventry Cathedral Youth For Fair Trade (YFFT) project.

Having planned the first weekend today with Matt, I'm really looking forward to it! I believe Rachel is joining me on 14/15 November but if anyone would like to come on 5/6 December to finalise the "training" of the 18-25 year old group that would be wicked.

We also have the Wednesday evening sessions to consider - more on these (including dates) when I know more :)

Outside of Coventry I've got a few other things brewing with some GYW events scheduled/planned/mooted in Exeter for the SW Region (17 November), in Norfolk for YMCA Norwich and Chelmsford (TBC). I'm heading up to Leicester on 10 November and I've also got a lovely GYW session in the office with folks from YMCA Denmark coming up soonish.

There's also another YMCA Ireland residential to think about... phew!

Mike
