At last..... POWER TOOLS.....
So this years Ready 4 Action went by without a hitch, by and large. 25 odd (some very.. yes, yes, yes I probably use that joke every year) volunteers helping renovate three gardens for a variety of local residents who needed the help mixed in amongst 300 or so volunteers from a larger group of churches in Guildford and Surrey. It always amazes me that, as one of the smaller churches involved we send a very large group of kids who all give up their bank holiday weekend to help others. It also surprises, and pleases, me that every year they try an give us a job that's unlikely to get done and we always get it done. Oh yeah we are THE TEAM.
The kids are lovely, a spectacular group and excellent value for money (we don't pay them, in fact they pay to be a part of it). In addition we all got together and drew our t-shirts together prior to the weekend and one of the group won the t-shirt design compo at the beginning which was very pleasing :) so pleasing in fact that the spamhead in charge of our team forgot to photograph it.
Still, was all sorts of fun. Nice one Matrix Team, R4A team and especially St P's team. Twas a brilliant weekend.
