Britain in a Day at the warehouse

The team may have been busy setting up the warehouse ready for the boxes on Monday, but they took time out to record their thoughts and feelings for the BBC's Britian in a Day initiative.

Maureen Grew, Carolyn Gercke, Jenny Winter and Kate Loveless, each recorded a short video clip that has been uploaded onto the Britain in a Day Youtube site. You never know you may yet see them on the final film, played before the Olympics!

On your marks....!

The Team and Teddy prepare to set up
There was definitely a sense of "On your marks....!" last night as the team gathered to talk about setting up the warehouse on Friday with the tables, chairs, posters, fillers and of course the already collected boxes.
  
Carolyn shared a proposed layout of the warehouse and explained how the "flow" of unchecked boxes through to filled cartons will work. There's certainly not going to be any lack of space this year - in fact the team may need walkies talkies and roller skates to communicate and get around easily!
The trolleys that have been loaned by Tesco previously would definitely be a benefit and the team are thinking of asking Homebase for the loan of a couple of their flat bed trolleys. The more the merrier!
The Team with the warehouse plan

Debbie then talked about this blog and appealed for stories and pictures as they are available during the campaign. She also talked about the BBC's Britain in a Day event and suggested that the team could be involved and make a film around the set up process.

After all the general notices and information from Carolyn, Celia closed the meeting in prayer.
The team will meet again at the warehouse!!!
