Great Race 2016

So we had to tweak the last draft of the race legs then on Friday before work we met with June at Kovan and spent a frantic hour printing and collating the information into 7 packages, one for each of the teams. We're ready, teams have been given all the information they need at this point. What could possibly go wrong?

The next two days at work went quickly and on Monday we had a relaxing morning then took all the folders and prizes to Sque in Clarke Quay. The teams began arriving and what a spectacle they made!

They certainly went to a lot of trouble and then spent several hours walking around Singapore on a very hot afternoon which, by coincidence, was a public holiday for Vesak Day. Oops! Didn't think of that. Brought a smile to lots of locals' faces no doubt. We all finished up at Wine Mansions in Outram, a venue we first found for this event when we helped organize it in 2014. It was Ann who sent us a link to it from NZ and we must try to get her there while she is with us next weekend. 

So on Tuesday morning we woke up with nothing to do! It's been awhile.
