We awake to torrential rain - Oh no!! our grounds are clay mud and will be a nightmare. Luckily by 9 the rain stops and the sun comes out. By 10 the ground is pretty dry.
The tents arrive and are erected, 200 chairs laid out (will we get that many guests?). The cooks beaver away in the kitchen. The trainees do a stirling job. Preparations are in place.
In the end we had 300 attend including trainees. Senior Chiefs, Administration officials, District Youth Training Officer, District Development Officer, the MP and aspirants to the post and local business representatives. An impressive turn out to a relatively small institution. The tours round the course demonstrations were well received, especially the ICT/Computers new course. We may have problems with too much demand next year but that is a nice problem to have.
After course tour we had the inevitable 2 hours of speeches, tree planting, green house launch and then finally around 4pm we had lunch!!.
Everyone had a great day and were very impressed at how well organised we were, especially given that it was our first event.
