The meeting on the 7th was my first in a while after taking a temporary hiatus as a consequence of a depressing exam schedule, and it’s remarkable that in that short space of time two disparate sets of individuals could gel so completely together. It seemed to me, whilst in my mainly observant role that session, that both groups brought two different energies which combined well with regards to the current ‘Frenfords Summer Jam’ project.
The project being centred around sports and activity reflects well the energy and enthusiasm being exudedby both the Youth Committee and the Youth Action Team (which both uncannily sound like superhero groups… Hmm, this might get interesting…). The Herculean effort of coordinating multiple events, on a rolling and unpredictable schedule as that which is planned for the 8th of August, was being made light work by the heroic organisational capacity to be found in the team. I’d found groups split into three differentlogistical concerns and this streamlining of responsibility meant that entertainment and refreshments, marketing etc were dealt with to a superhuman level of detail.
OK, enough with the superhero epithets, hehe. But genuinely, the event is shaping up to be a successful one as the main bulk of work has been completed; what remains is the final completion and perfection of the minute details.
My task this week is to try collate previous experience and current objectives into a workable 'entertainment and refreshments' budget for the ‘Summer Jam’ and to try and round up some volunteers to make the day more successful. If you are reading this and haven't signed up, do I even have to ask?
