Who we are

Hi there
We've set this up so that everyone on the team can communicate together without the email trail!

Feel free to post comments, ask questions, make recommendations, even share where's best to buy steel-toe boots!

If anyone wants me to link their personal blog, fundraising events, personal diary, bank account details or credit card number, feel free to let me know!

TOOLS LIST

Hi there

This is the best place for everyone to list the tools they're bringing, if some have room in their baggage, if others are struggling for space... I can then list everything and we'll see if we're short of some stuff or heavy on others.

So, who's bringing their hairdryer :-)
