playing with the puppets

I love the story and i love that we played with them to see what they were like to move I think this helped as they are not as easy as I thought they would be but they are looking amazing!! Well done to the creative team!!!! I have taken picture to take to our ham meeting on monday if there is any thing else important we need to talk about just let me know and we can chat with george and gary. All is looking good!!!

we have a rough plan for the weekend which is good but we need to sort a set one monday i think.

keep up the good work.

workshops in schools

hay i hope every ones workshops are going well. we had a realy good one last week in richmond and the kids were so sweet. we wanted them to get used to us and feel happy around us. we played some games and did some exersises with them and we plan for the next two weeks to get them thinking about the parade and make some masks with them. they are all realy excited. i hope everyone else's workshops are going well.

Ham Meeting in the pub!!!

the meeting today went realy well we had lots to catch up on as we hadent meet for a few weeks. i realy feel as if they are excited about the progect now and we can all see hoe it is coming together. We wanted to have a catch up with them so that we could tell them the progress that we have made over the last few weeks. they seam realy happy with the work that we are doing.

We are going to have a meeting on the 29th as our next big meeting to fill them in on our procress and any workshops that we have had. They would also like us to present them with a plan of how the day will run and where everyone will be. they understand that this might not be compleate as we still may not know everyones plans but in as much detail that we can.

So if we can all start to get as much information as possiable we can make the plan realy good for them.

its all going well but not long till it is hear. keep up the goods work guys!!!xx

the story was so so good well done Jenny and Ben was so funny and the children and adults will love it. i like the idea that everything revolves around the same thing and realy brings the events together! i am looking forward to dressing up as animals and having fun with the community!!! realy good meeting guys i feel we covered alot! we are on track keep up the good work.

Meeting with Mark!

we all had our little meeting and i feel that sitting down and talking to mark we got to have a little catch up and know where we are at the moment and what we are to focus on in the nest few weeks.

also talking to mark about this (the blog) helped me as i am not alot clearer on what is required from us.

All is good on our side of things and we will report back on the meeting with Ham!!

ham house meeting last week in the pub was good the police man came and her was realy good told us they are in and want to walk along with the parade wich is good they will be at ham common as well as at the road and walking around the event so all is looking good there.

every thing else is going well at our end got quotes for balloons and waiting for beach balls but all looks good getting excited now we can make it good xxx

meetings!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have had a few realy good meetings and it all looks ltke it is coming together.

mask making was fun and looks like a good way of getting the kids involved and making them fit in the the colour theame. workshops are a thing that we need to focus on and try and get into the schools as soon as we can.

i think everyone is working well and it is all looking good so far but we still have a long way to go.

we had a meeting with ham house and theya re happy with how things are going they would like us to keep intouch bout numbers as this is there main worry. the meeting was realy good and they would like us to do a presentation to them in 3 weeks with a plan off the day and where we are at. this will be on everything fundrasing and general things so maybe some one from a few other groups could come with us.

they are realy excited about the event and realy want alot of our imput down to writing the song that will be sung on the day about ham so any one creating should have a think about it. they are looking at having bags made to give away and want our imput on this aswell.
Everything is going well we just need to wait for schools to get intouch and then just get into the scholls and start the fun.!!!

all seames to be good keep up the hard work!!! xx
