Very exciting news! Robstock is taking off! On the 4th of January a group of mates and their bands have agreed to do a gig for me in Long Eaton to help me fundraise for the trip. We are aiming to have 3 bands playing the Silver Prize venue and they are going to be accompanied by a DJ set. None of this would have happened without Mike and Greg from work who have helped push this through and used Mike's contacts to help set up the bands and the venue. We are all really excited about the prospect of the night and hope its going to be a big success with as many people as possible coming along. We will be selling tickets in December and hope to pack the place out.
I'm yet to hear much more from George Spencer, my old secondary school, but I'm hopeful something can be arranged before the end of December in terms of fundraising. Other than that I've been burying myself at work and am finding West Park Leisure Centre a rather disturbing place to have as a second home. I've even started to count down the number of hours I have before I need to go back to work! On the plus side, the new swimming lesson classes that I have are absolutely brilliant and I love teaching them. My driving lessons are also coming along nicely, which I hope will mean I can pass before I head off to Uganda in Feb.
I'm slowly becoming more and more conscious about how big a challenge Uganda will be and whilst I'm naturally very excited about going, the pressures and organisational headaches are beginning to converge, which has added a degree of nervousness to the excitement too. I know I'll miss family and friends, and I'm also aware that I'll test myself in more ways than I realise. Not long to go now and a lot to do so I'll sign off and go get my hair cut!! Lol. xx
