Weekends' program

In this post I'll tell a bit more what we did during the weekend.  The program was:

FRIDAY
18.30  We were dropped off to the place where we stayed
19.00  Chicken burgers for dinner
19.30-  Free time
00.00  Finally bed time!

SATURDAY
6.30  Wake up
7.00  Breakfast
8.00  Transport to Yacht club
9.00-  Sailing in lake Macquarie
12.00  Transport to adventure park, lunch
17.00  Return to the place where we stayed
18.00  BBQ dinner (= meat dinner :D) with our districts rotary people  
19.30  'Reptile man'
20.00  Free time
00.00 Again: FINALLY bed time.  The day was awesome, but after climbing 4½ hours in trees It was nice feeling to go to bed. :D

SUNDAY
6.30  Wake up (this time with lights... I guess we were hard group to wake up, especially in the second morning :DD)
7.00  Breakfast and packing
7.50  Travel to club Macquarie, waiting (read: sharing pins and taking heaps of photos)
9.15 Introduction
9.45  Speech about health, homesickness and personal safety
10.30  Morning tea and maybe best muffins I've ever eaten 
11.00  Presentations and speeches about expectations, insurance (I've heard quite a few speeches about this topic :D) and Capricorn ramble 2012. Capricorn ramble is three-week-long safari around Australia, and our district does it in April.  It would be great to be part of that amazing trip and see Great barrier reaf, Ayers rock etc.  Only bad thing is the price; it costs more than 3000 AUD, so we'll see what happens with it. :/
12.50  Lunch; only meat sandwiches and meat wraps.  (For people who doesn't already know it, I don't eat red meat and that's why I'm telling these kind of stupid things :D)
13.30  Advises how to make a good speech, and preparing a three minute one
14.00  Speeches.  I don't really like public speaking, and when you have only 15 minutes to write your speech without using your own language; Phew!
After this we headed to our homes.  The weekend was great (especially Saturday... :D), and I'm looking forward to meet this group again!

I have few more pictures, so I'll put them below:


Sometimes the obstacles were a bit hard :D
And one picture from our official Sunday...
