Hi All,
well it all starts again as I have a meeting at the Hospice this week to arrange more trips for the children, nurses and families. I have not met this group yet but hopefully they will be enthusiastic.
The 'Rocking Mondays' have sadly now all passed away so we are starting afresh. I always get nervous at these meetings especially as there is a new boss to deal with. It took us a couple of years to get established with them but we do not know what this new boss is like. Fingers crossed it will be ok.
Best wishes
Colin.

i think its just a new boss and he may be different than colin is used to and may have different ideas about things,you know what its like when you get a new boss,some times you need to tip toe around them

Basically it took me around a year to get accepted by the then boss enough so that we can take the children on off road trips. If it doesn't go well then it may mean the end of our adventures with that particular organisation. If that is the case then so be it but the kids really enjoy our trips out etc. and it is them and people like them that Team Chaos was formed to help.
Fingers and toes crossed.

That's kind'a what i thought - Just seems bonkers to me - the amount of red tape & @*** kissing needed to give something good to folk who appreciate it
We have a childrens hospice in Milton (e.a.c.h.) & i mensioned to them about giving some of the kids rides if they were up to it. They were so dismisive that I never bothered to follow it up - shame really

Not had the meeting yet, it is in a little while, fingers crossed. I will report back as soon as I get home.
For those of you that don't know Muddyman is the first person I call when we are staging an off road day for the hospice children and he has attended 100% of the days we have organised and has proved a great favourite with the children and staff alike.. He is a great assett to Team Chaos and a good mate to me as well. Top bloke (but dont tell him cos his head is big enough as it is ).
Colin.

Thank you all for your kind and very flattering comments :0)WOOOO HOOOO Team Chaos rock...it went better than expected and apparently it was a bit of a motorcycle and car show. I was at the head of the convoy in the Team Chaos Discovery (I thought I was only going for a meeting with the new manager) and we also entered a quiz which I won along with one of the children. So now we are back and raring to go taking the children, their families and the nurses on off road adventures. woooo hooooo I am soooo happy and relieved.
