Dorchester Team and Kidlington Youth Weekend

We all arrived safely at Wycliffe and in good time to settle into our rooms before dinner. Francine Gifford from Dorchester who is in charge here had stayed to welcome us and it was good to see her! Everyone liked their rooms and the dinner - a buffet was a great success. The food is brilliant!!

Also at the Conference Centre is a Sign Language conference and it is fascinating being with them in the Dining Room and seeing the mixture of conversation and signing!
The evening was spent in our 'home base' room Eliot.
We began with games of various kinds - built Jenga Towers to see which team could get the highest in the fastest time and divided into the three teams that we'll be in with Adventure Plus tomorrow! Finally the younger participants constructed the highest structure they could with marshmallows and spaghetti - uncooked! Whilst they did that the older (over 13's) invented a challenge course that the younger group will attempt tomorrow evening!!!
Nigel's taken lots of pictures so watch this space!

Best news of all is that everyone went to bed - and if not to sleep certainly went quiet very quickly...
and so to bed!!
