The teambuilding was great, the management team rap song (as we called it) of

• Forming
• Storming
• Norming
• Performing

was actually a great way to get the team working well. We played some great games. My favourite being the "Who can throw the egg the furthest", probally because we won. I promise I am not competitive, really. Basically we found some polystyrene on the beach, hollowed it out, put the egg in and secured it with a string cradle. Next we stuck a bunch of twigs in and wove some grass in to create a tumbleweed lookalike for catching the huge wind. Had two good night's out, but I lost my voice from all the shouting. Anyway I have a good handle on what each SRC member is capable of, and we got some good work done on o-week.

As for O-Week, things are looking good. The Street Party is looking amazing and if everything works out will be the biggest party I have ever seen in g-town. Prof Pickles is also looking good but we need to help them find R1640 to cover costs as the Union's club license makes cover charges illegal. Much respect to Jill Ambrose for getting hold of Colin Moss and Koki on such a tight budget. The next great looking event is the Bands Evening which was pretty much entirely organised by Amy Shelver. We are also negotiating with Redbull for a child-like event with a jumping castle, slide and water baloons at the pool. As for the starter packs, the headaches with Brainchild productions are mostly cleared, just need to find out how they can justify an expense of R25 000. As it stands the starter packs consist of:

• A pick 'n pay carry bag.
• A societies folder for societies and other organisations propaganda.
• A FNB lanyard and pen.
• Cans of Axe and a great calendar from StudentVillage.
• Whatever John can rustle up from the rest of the corporate world.

Now all that is left is to fix permission for FNB's promotions and make sure the other councillors do the jobs I gave them. I can't wait for my PA to arrive.
