Day 8 of the Regionals - Saturday 2nd July

Today looked sunnier, but it was also not to be. Our morning briefing was enlivened by a genuine 1970s picket, organised by some of our competitors in order to get into the 70s swing ready for the evening....terrific demands, which sadly we weren't able to meet!!




After we scrubbed the day a few of our competitors decided to channel Blue Peter, and they made proper paper models of gliders and planes which you will now seen hung from the ceiling in the briefing room! Kept them out of trouble for a bit. Other folks started to assemble their outfits for the evening - slightly surprising what people are prepared to wear!!


Mary's granddaughter Michaela and her friends cooked us a fantastic Chilli dinner, with a fresh strawberry pudding. As the costumes began to appear, the full horror of the 1970s became apparent! (Oddly enough, no-one tried to revisit hotpants, perhaps a small mercy). 






After eating we went outside for a team photo by the Chipmunk. Here are a few of the photos from that line up.
