Well, today’s been a real roller coaster! Thankfully the weather improved enough this morning for us to be able to patch the hole in the marquee, so we now have a 300 seater white canvas behemoth at the centre of the campsite. Looks great.
We then got some fairly startling financial news. Our web account provider doesn’t clear funds until one month after they were initially paid. This would be no problem if everyone had paid to come to Transmission a month ago, but this being the 24-7 community, most have paid in the last week! Thankfully, some friends have come to the rescue with a bridging loan. Phew. Could still use a few more people showing up for the weekend, but at least we can meet our financial commitments.
Preparations in the Factory have been going really well, and most of our volunteers have been painting or putting in electrical wiring today. We’ve also had a couple of amazingly task-focussed types churning out our site signs – there’s a lot of them!
Tomorrow the real fun begins. Team leaders arrive and have their first meetings, and we have a load of site setup to complete before delegates arrive on Friday. Keep praying…
