... is about to start today. Of 10 college principals who are coming from Africa, 8 have arrived, one has cancelled and one is still on her way - so that's not too bad. Up until yesterday lunchtime the hotel didn't have a room for us to hold the workshop but we managed to sort that out. We now have to take a boat ride (which will be fun) a few minutes down the river to another part of the hotel which is on a different property. It'll be a nice start to the day.
The participants are all staying in another hotel and they have to get a bus here - but my friend and colleague George is staying with them so I hope he manages to rally them all and get them here more or less on time. This is an important workshop for my main skills development activity this year so it is important that we get it right.
You can find information on the place we are staying here - Le Meridien. It's a huge hotel with both business and tourist guests. They seem to have back-to-back conferences and it's all a little chaotic - but it works in the end. The prople are very hospitable and try to do whatever they can to help - which is a nice attitude to work with.
So I just have to get through the next three days before the 400-odd delegates arrive for the Pan Commonwealth Forum - phew!
It's all very exciting - and a little bit scary :-)
