About time too...

This guy has clearly had
success with something...

So, it's been aaages since my last post, I can't even say I've been too busy to update, since the School season, and the Summer are now over and things are nice and quiet now. Ah well, never mind, onwards and... well, on with the blog.

Firstly, looking back to my last blog about why failure is awesome, I neglected to mention, or forgot at least, that although we should all be allowed to fail, we should also be allowed to succeed ...allowed is probably the wrong word. Possibly the opportunity to succeed should be given to us. Something like that.

As important as learning to fail and learning to learn from failure are, succeeding is as important. If failure is all we are given or all we able to receive then failure is all we shall expect. Equally, if success handed to us over and over and over then success without trying is all we shall expect, and when, or if, we do not succeed (for whatever reason) then we would not know how to cope, or know how to build on that failure. So, there needs to be success and failure in life for someone to... succeed.

Thanks to Phil Goldney for pointing that out to me.

Events:

Right, so, events. Some of the following events are not yet set in stone, and I write about them here merely to raise awareness, rather than to put a date in diaries.

October 24th-28th: Volunteer Week. We aim to get as many volunteers at Camp as possible over this week, those over 18 can go tell the Orange Rock Corps what they've done and get £30 worth of gig tickets. (This is half-term week)

November 28th - December 4th: National Tree Planting Week. We have been donated plenty of trees to get planted, and anyone wishing to help is more than willing to do so, again the Orange Rock Corps can reward those over 18.

December 3rd: The Annual St Madoc Centre Craft Show and Carol Concert. Hot food, drink, live music and craft stalls. All are welcome, no charge - although donations are lovely and accepted.

No doubt I'll remember something else in a bit, but for now, ba-bye!

(also, oooh, look at the new blog design-stuff)
