That was Yellow Braces 2012

| No Comments

The Diocesan Camp was AWESOME regardless of the amount of rain (lots) and the inevitably of getting mired in the quag at every turn. (In fact quagmire was too minimal a word to fully express the nature, prevalence and intensity of mud, so the teens came up with 'quagsmosh' to try and better express the geoimmersive experience).

I'll write more over the next few days BUT couldn't even let a morning go by without expressing my profound thanks to the team, and to the young people. Thank you!

We did manage to play an epic "Water Balloon Volleyball" tournament though with some of the most accomplished match play I have ever seen. This was followed by the even greater visual spectacle of a mimed tennis match; this was hilarious .... and actually really exciting to watch.

I shall write more over the next few days as there was some great stuff that the team came up with that may be useful to other camps to borrow and adapt
.
Again thank you to everyone for putting the YB into Gniyllub and the Gniyllub into YB. It's a weekend that will live long in my memory.
