Well after our Christmas break I was feeling very full, but eager to get to work in 2010! The year had a kickstart with Team Conference where we get to meet loads of youth workers like ourselves from all across the country. It was an amazing weekend and I had lots of fun…especially playing a spy game in the snow and taking part in a quiz where I had to eat a cricket…urgh!!! It was so nice to get to spend some time together and to meet other people having similar experiences to start the year.

Although we were all very tired after Team Conferenbce it was straight back to work on Monday and before we knew it we were planning all sorts of exciting stuff for the next few months.

Our first outing of the year was to CTU to get the ‘Born For This’ production going. It was great to see you all again and getting to spend time with you at your place. Who knew I was going to love badminton so much?! And the table tennis game – amazing! Can’t wait to work with you all again over the next few weeks leading up to the performance.

Then on Monday it was off to Blessed Robert Sutton, where we were lucky enough to get to work with the Year 9′s and the Sixth Formers. I really do hope a lot of you come to the briars next year because you were awesome! The school dinner was gorgeous!!! The afternoon that we spent with the Sixth Formers was so much fun and I loved being able to get involved in all the activities with you when exploring human rights.
