Men's retreat - Friday 15th

Today fairly relaxed day. Had a nice lay in and then head down to the office to pick up the minibus from the office with Dave. Then came back home and packed all of my things for the men's retreat away. Mark then rang and asked to be picked up from hopsital as he was being discharged and has to go back next week now so that they can have another cracked at getting the Kidney Stone out. We were then on the road by half past 5 after picking up a few people from the church. We were told a short cut which was to go straight until you hit a 'T' junction and then turn right. after we hit the dirt road we realised we'd gone to far and the 'T' junction was acutally a four way junction! But we were soon back on the right way after a quick phone call. we arrived at the camp site for half 7 in time for dinner and then wuickly dumped our gear in the thatched cottage type accomodation we were staying in. The meeting was just and introduction to the rest of the weekend and about Fathers and sons and spiritual fathers with a guest speaker from cape town called Ashley Smith who was really good. Afterwards most of us head to the indoor sports hall where we played a game of indoor cricket which was a good laugh and a chance to meet new guys and especialy more guys my age. Looking forward to tomorrow now!

Speaks soon
