Better late than never: Team Ghana's Third Briefing

As one of the last teams to go out on project, it seems only sensible that our third briefings would be later than everyone else's too. Lucky for us though, we get to spend more time together planning and getting to know each other as a team! Yay!

So, on the first weekend in July, all of us reunited at Sarah's house in Manchester. And here's what we got up to:

8:30am- Rise and Shine! We were all greeted by the lovely smell of bagels and other yummy breakfast items- Thanks Sarah! The night before we recieved our offical Ghana uniforms from Laura (they look so cool!!)

9am- Create a checklist- 26 items long! We had a LOT to discuss...

9:01am- Start checklist- Slowly but surely we began to check things off the list. We chatted about fundraising and badges. If you want to support us, we have a challenge badge for you! Send us a message on https://www.facebook.com/GOLDGhana2016/ if you want to complete it with your Units!

10:08am- Cat snuggle time- Sarah's cat Megatron (or Megs for short) was getting loads of attention from Team Ghana. If only we could take him with us...

10:15am- Resume planning- With a lot to plan, cat cuddles had to be kept to a minimum

12:30pm- Nom Nom Nom- Possibly the favourite bit of the day.

1:30pm- Planning our days off- Although we'll be pretty busy whilst on project, we have planned a few things to squeeze into our time off. We really enjoyed learning about Ghana's sandy white beaches and animal packed nature reserves!

5/6 of Team Ghana around the campfire!

4:00pm- Bouncin'!- After hours of planning, we took a well-deserved break and hit the trampoline park, Alice nearly didn't come back after a nosedive which may or may not have been fuelled by Mhairi... Sorry Al!

6:00pm- Dinnertime- After a good long bounce, we headed off to a vegetarian restuarant which had the best food and the best company.

9:00pm- Toasting Marshmallows and Bed- What would a Guiding weekend be without a campfire?




So Team Ghana had a wonderful weekend planning our project. We are so excited for our Fourth Briefing in two weeks time so we can continue to plan for our upcoming trip!
