May Blog from Brendan (Camp Director)
This month we took a big step towards WINGS 2014.
On 17 th and 18 th May around 400 of the WINGS staff came together for our pre WINGS briefing days. This was an opportunity for people from across the teams to meet, share information and start moving from the planning phase to the delivery phase.
For the staff who couldn’t make it, we don’t want you to miss out, so all the presentation materials and video of the day will be available shortly via the WINGS website and on YouTube.
We are now at a significant point in our progress towards WINGS 2014, as there are less than 60 days until the start of the build on 19 th July. We have received a vast majority of the participant fees, which is great as we are now securing the final equipment and suppliers we need to make WINGS 2014 the amazing event you are looking forward to.
Everyone, Unit, Participant and Staff will soon be asked for all your essential camp information such as medical forms, dietary requirements and activity permissions. It is really important that these are completed before you arrive at WINGS, so we can ensure your fantastic week of adventure can start the moment you come through the gate!
At about this time, lots of questions start coming up, we all beginning to think really seriously about what is happening in August. People from across the WINGS team we be responding to your questions and we will then be making all the answer available via sets of FAQs. As something require a bit of cross team coordination, there may be a slight delay with an answer, so please bear with us.
One last thing this month, For many of you WINGS is an old friend, for others it is all new. Whichever group you are in 2 months from now you will be packing your bags and setting out for an amazing adventure. It really is time to get excited!
Brendan
