But aside from that excitement, it was another busy day in the warehouse, with both vans out and about around Camberley and Aldershot. It was also the first time for a few new volunteers and we were happy to welcome one and all.
Jon Voice was one such volunteer who lost no time in helping with the container this morning. Here he is with another first time volunteer Danny in the final stages of loading. Once that was done he then set about tackling the cartoners' packing puzzles in the afternoon.John had planned to have a day's holiday to come and help, and it was a perfect match that it happened to be today. He had found out about the warehouse through his girlfriend's family and is more than happy to help the children who we know have so little.
Continuing with the filler ideas, how about this great game of pick-a-stick, ideal for 10-14 year old boys. Mike Grew made these sets very cheaply from painting BBQ skewers and then putting them in wrapped toothpaste cartons. Ingenious. To make the gift even better, he included a printed set of rules, handily translated into Russian (thanks to google). It's amazing what inspiration can come from a summer BBQ!and so to Ted, well having met Anne Milton MP earlier this month, he had no trouble be-friending Jonathan Lord MP today. Talk about friends in high places!!
See you tomorrow!
