Getting closer...

Well. Third Briefing is coming to an end. At the start of the weekend, Alice had put our to do list on post-it notes stuck around the Union Flag. As we ticked off jobs, we moved the post-it over to the Latvian flag (although maybe not quite as neatly!)
The start of the weekend
The end of the weekend

By 11am on the Sunday morning, everything was off the Union Flag and onto the Latvian - whoop! We're all quite amazed at how much work we've actually got through in these three days. AND to add to our excitement mid-Saturday, we received an e-mail from Liga, our Latvian contact!! She managed to answer a lot of our questions, without us actually asking them, which was brilliant :)

The next time we see each other now will be the night before we fly out, so we're in line for a lot of teleconferences, facebook chats and e-mail conversations to finish off our planning so time for a quick Q&A with the team... 

How are you feeling about Latvia now then guys?!  

Laura: "I'm feeling good! Looking forward to it :)" 
Sarah: "Very excited!"
Ton: "Intrigued!"
Alice: "Excited!"
Lizzie: "lots of planning ahead, but we've achieved a lot this weekend so I think we're on track." 
Net: "Can't wait to get going!" 

We also found time to play a bit of aeroball - basically basketball on a trampoline! 

And we also got very excited about booking our "reunion" event in 2016 - at least three of us are off to Sangam for their 50th birthday event! There's nothing like a bit of forward planning... See you there right?!
