Aqua Fama

Today was a volunteer briefing, held at Doreny Lake. In three sessions over 2 days, the committee are taking all the 'new' volunteers, ie those that did not help at last year's World Cup, through general information and a first meet and greet with the team leader.

The general stuff was very similar to the briefings I've been to before. Followign the general stuff, people were split into teams. I;d not been assigned a team before hand, but found out that I'd been placed in the IT team. Which could be interesting if it has anything to do with actually running the IT on site..my knowledge of that was neglible. I'd put on my volunteer form that I've got some experience with websites, so it may be in that area.

The only other action today was to pick sizes for the uniform - shirt, splash top and cap. There;s not likely to be too much more contact over the next few months, for many people it'll be mainly a matter of turn up.

After a few months' hiatus, I'm reviving this blog to cover a couple of new events. The first is the World Rowing Championships, which take place in August this year; the second is the World U23 Champiobships, taking place in Scotland in 2007. For the Eton event, I'm one of the volunteers, most likely working in the IT team (although thse things can always change). Over the next few months, there'll be some updates but not too much as I'm not involved inthe settingup. For the Scottish event, there'll be more background on setting up, as I'm the Team Leader for the Accreditation team.

There's a name change to the blog, to bad Latin with no grammar, but it makes sense to me. And it'll move a little away from beign a photoblog.
