Janaury 21st Meeting a Shelley's


Tonight's meeting highlight was a visit from the 2008 GSE team who traveled to South Africa!


We did some work on our presentation prior to their arrival and after exchanging pleasantries, shared some great stories of their trip and consuming some pizza, we began the first run through of our show with an audience. They provided us some great feedback as we work to trim down our show to the essentials to ensure a solid product for our upcoming meetings with local clubs.

As the days move on, the anticipation of leaving and the associated stresses from our employers, home and trip preparation continue to grow!! 

The good news is that we are now under seven weeks from departure and everything appears to be in solid shape. The presentation is evolving into a solid piece of work and we are in the final stages of selecting a printer and completing all the required materials. We have all been issued our team clothing and had an fun morning taking some shots of us in our garb all around the park. 

Presentation planning- The 25 minute presentation for the District Conference is nearing completion.

We headed outside to get some shots us enjoying a beautiful winter day. I have a great idea, let's all take pictures of us in t-shirts in January...

On the viewing tower, you could feel the wind up here!!

Surveying the scene, we always wander around and find ourselves in scenes like this!

Heading back inside to warm up, these jackets will be just fine for Australian summer nights...!

One last stop,  a few shots with our resident Canadian Black Bear.
