The ministry of fun

Part of the design for the camp was setting up and keeping going a set of roles for organising things that need to get done. These have included a treasurer, caterer, key-keeper and so on, while I concentrated on the (rapidly evolving programme).



One of the key roles though is the ministry of fun, which my friend Gusztáv took on with aplomb.  We've been out one night to the pub(s) for a dose of football and 'pass the pig', played card games, sang songs from all over the world and though we had other offers to go out it was often just good to sit in and talk.


Not everyone stayed at the hostel, but I'd argue making the place we worked a social space made it a good workspace as well.  It was slightly painful to clear the table for meals, but on the other hand it made for proper punctuation of the worktime and help a bit with keeping track of the kit (+a lot of attention from Al)
