Palaver 2014 - Friday Night

This evening, Akela and I arrived at Woodhouse to attend Palaver. Rather low key this year, with numbers down. But no doubt we are in for a good weekend. Looking at the program, there is very little crafty stuff, which will make Akela happy. She is not big on craft and prefers to be doing more active stuff with the Cub Pack!

We got to make a Jack o’Lantern, and a really nice supper with plenty of talking and catching up going on over a hot drink.

It was a early night though, as Akela still has her ear infection and taking medication. She didn’t wasn’t to over do it before the weekend started.

The Start of Palaver

Today, it was time to get ready for another weekend away with Akela. The reason we are going away is because it is Palaver weekend. This is a weekend where Cub Leaders get together, in a relaxed friendly environment to network, make friends and to exchange ideas.

We arrived early as we had gotten a lift up to Woodhouse (where we were staying in the Rymill Conference Centre) and were lucky enough to have our choice of rooms. Once we set up, it wasn’t long before other leaders started to arrive and name tags were donned, so people could get to know which sixes they were in for the weekend. These small groups were so that people could attend activity sessions together.

The evening was relaxed, with some getting to know you mixing activities, a lot of laughter and fun was had. Certainly was enjoyable seeing people mix and getting to know each other in a great atmosphere!

After some great supper (which included fairy bread!) people slowly started making their way to bed. But not before more laughter, and socializing (I think there is going to be a lot of that happening this weekend!)
