First Briefing!

Our first briefing was lots of fun! It was held near London on 22nd-24th February. Everyone was a little nervous as it was the first time we would be meeting in person since INTOPs and the first time we would meet our leader Thea.

However, everyone seemed to click straight away and we all got on really well. We had lots of things in common and the conversation flowed. Throughout the weekend we learnt more about our own GOLD project and also the 7 other GOLD projects in 2013. We learnt about working together as a team and how important it is to be open and honest with each other. We made our group charter and picked out colours for our uniform, after much debate!!

Above is our very first group photo together - there will be many more to come! As you can see we were the pink team as part of our evening activities and Thea was Paddington Bear!

It was great getting to bond over the weekend and it already felt as though we had made lifelong friends.
