What form where ?

Here we go ! I have been told that in order to take Young People (explorer scouts) out I need to submit an AAN form. However having spent hours searching for one I find that they have not even produced yet!

Ok so this is only a local form, so I submit details of my event to the DC who asks why I did not use the form - ! Told him its had not been produced yet ! he say make sure I use it Next time - next time has just arrived no form !

And they wonder why they find it difficult to find leaders ?

A book to Read

I picked up a book to read on the Train today. It was toast by Nigel Slater. It was so good I could not help but laugh out loud.

The book at times was partly cringing - but I could not put it down. It was just what I needed a good Laugh !

do they still make Arctic Roll ?

From IT to Youth Work

Finally my start date arrived, after 20 years in IT, I have moved in to paid Youth Work. I say paid, because I have been doing Youth Work, or better still "working with young people" since 1980.

Some people think I gone mad! but in my middle 40s, I lelt that It was now or never.

So had I got feed up with Unix or Oracle? well the answer is no! my main problem came when I asked who benefit from my work in five years time, I was not sure who would.

Well so far my brain has turned to mush ! The People I have met have been brillant, both young and not so young.
