And there's more...

So we've got some news for you...

First of all, we've got a fundraiser night organised and scheduled for Friday 5th March 2010.
This will be a table quiz fundraiser along with a people auction, it's gonna be a great night!

We'll be asking some of you guys to put together rounds for the quiz and also to be there on the night to help out doing everything from selling tea and buns to reading questions and who knows what else! Please make sure you are all there and bring your friends and family - all aunties, uncles, cousins, dogs and cats are most welcome!

You'll probably be wondering what a people auction is! Well here's how it works... you think of something you're good at... maybe you're a great dog walker, a cook, a grass cutter, a baby sitter, a singer, a patio scrubber... you get the idea!
Next we auction you off for a high price! You then cook a big meal or scrub your neighbours paths or cut their hedges! All proceeds go towards the costs of our trip, simple, fun and effective! Get thinking about what you could do because everyone must have something!

We'll post more info about this night soon!

We hope by now you are looking at getting all your vaccinations, the list of the ones you need is posted already on the blog.

We have received a quote for a group travel insurance policy which will cover all team members for all eventualities you can think of. We've been advised to have this policy to cover all people on the team and it's come in at just £25 per person. This will be added to final cost of the trip.

All of our accommodation is now booked in Hungary and Romania. We've also arranged a trip to Dracula's Palace in Transylvania and also to Sovata where we'll go swimming in a big salt lake! It's all really coming together!

Please don't forget about our night together on January 28th with Denise Wright on encountering other cultures and traditions. We'll meet in Fitzroy Halls at 7pm, that's next Thursday.

Please tell us about any fundraising ideas that you've had or anything that you've been doing to raise some funds for your trip. Do this via the Facebook group or come ready to share ideas next week.

We'd like to encourage you all to keep coming along to Fitzroy Youth activities that start this weekend as usual. 'Flipside' and 'Flipside Plus' Youth Clubs start this Friday and 'Evolve' our Youth Fellowship starts Sunday night at 8.20pm in Fitzroy. We'd love to see as many of you as possible coming along over the next few months. We think it's really important that the team spends as much time together as possible before we head off.

Finally parents, please get in touch if there is anything that you need to know! We're always here to answer any queries that you may have.

I think that's enough for now! More to follow soon....
