Sunday Palaver 2013

Today, Akela was only running the one session (first one). Hence, was able to go to breakfast and then do her packing afterwards! She certainly found it far more relaxing that having to rush around.

 It was a nice day outside and we got to enjoy some of it, by running the session outside. Although it was a little cool.

 Before long, everyone had done their sessions, packed their gear and cleared their rooms. Lunch was delicious (Akela LOVES lasagna). It was greatly appreciated.

After a forum and some preliminary planning for Palaver in 2014, it was time to lower the flag, do one last look in the rooms to ensure all was packed before heading home.
 
I really enjoyed the weekend, and know that the write up doesn’t really do this justice. But hope the photos make up for it.

Saturday at Palaver


What a nice morning it was at Woodhouse this morning, and it was pleasing breakfast was breakfast was at a somewhat civilized time of 8am (anyone who has been on camp with Akela knows she is just as likely to plan it earlier – but not today. It was at a decent time! And there was plenty of choice as well. No reason for anyone to say they were hungry...

Akela was running sessions this year around Wide Games, but didn’t have any for the first two sessions (there were 8 sessions, but only 4 groups of 6 people rotating through, so there was some free time for all). So, Akela, being the slack person she is (but I am sure she will disagree with me), took the time to staple the handouts together in the morning (I guess it beat staying up until goodness know what time last night to do it!).

Due to the nice weather today, the sessions Akela was running were held outside. It was certainly very nice. The first group who did the session, ended up on Challenge Hill to plan their game (Akela was doing a session around wide games, how to create them, when to run them and themes etc).

The groups worked really well together and now Akela has to type up the game notes into something that is a logical manner!

In addition, the food was great and there was plenty of it. No one was going hungry.

During the evening, everyone got dressed up for tea (except Akela – what a party pooper!!! But I did get pride of place sitting i her uniform pocket so could see everything that was happening) and there was a lot of fun to be had around the campfire after the meal.
