Allocation of responsibilities.
First, can I say thanks for coming?
That I see this challenge as a team effort. None is greater than the whole team. Remember we are here to do a challenge to raise lots of cash for the RBL. Also, remember to have lots of fun and enjoy the moments as they unfold. Not many people do what you are doing going from one end of England to the other. You are going to visit some beautiful parts of the UK, enjoy them and enjoy each other’s company. We are taking a second bike in case anyone of you wish to do a days cycle or just get away from the group for a bit.
To help this challenge move along easily I am going to allocate each one of you, in addition to mucking in with everything, a responsibility within the team. Please help each other in any way you can and all hands to the deck to set up camp or the Youth Hostel.
Team leader for each week, and holder of the credit card, will be
Week 1 Addie
Week 2 Emmanuelle
Week 3 Margaret
Week 4 Emmanuelle.
The team leader will be responsible for paying all the bills, including the campsite, YHAs when we use them, shopping and petrol in the second van. I will put petrol in my van. They will be responsible in helping the other team member involved in my care that day; helping with the cooking, driving the second van, hence they only do a Friday night sleepover. Making sure that the site is clean before you leave. Guys’, laying the table is your job. Nothing changes does it…
