Got to the church at about 1o:3o pm - Harvey and Tab wanted me to help them get ready for the retreat, so I did more photocopying, and did a form for Grow, a camp that's happening the end of this month at Belgrave Heights. It's a VCYC thing. Sons of Korah, Ambassador77 and Spoonfed are playing there.
At about 4:oo pm we packed all the stuff into Harvey and Tab's cars and drove out through Carngham to Snake Valley, where the retreat is. It's at Snake Valley Adventure Camps, which is next to a lake.
We got everything set up, and then had cornflakes for tea because we couldn't be bothered going to the shop.
Then Giles, Dave Who Is Not Called A Doctor and Micky turned up. They'd left from Giles' house, which is halfway between Ballarat and Snake Valley, so they didn't have to far to go.
The others all turned up late, about 8:oo pm.

The beds here are really short. My feet stick over the edge. Scott's decided to sleep on the floor. Greggy only just fits in his bed, and thinks it's very comfortable.
