My name is Bernard Nixon and I am on the support team along with Judith James. I will be responsible for preparing some of the paperwork i.e. Booking Form, Programme, Leaders Handbook etc.

The support team will also be responsible for purchasing merchandice . If you have any suggestions for items you believe will sell, please let me know.

I have been involved with MAYC either as a member or leader for over 35 years and I am still involved with a youth club today. I hope therefore that my experience will help the Breakout Team to create an event to remember. Watch this space for further information

Hi there, my name is Mark Hall, and along with Graeme Neale I am responsible for all the elements that are classed as purely entertainment ratherthen worship or being a participation event.

Graeme has been working overtime to bring volunteers on board to look after the various areas that we are providing. I’m currently looking into the feasability of setting up an onsite radio station .

There is still lots of scope if you want to become involved with the weekend, so send us an email stating what you are intrested in helping us out with.  I’m sure that this will be the same for the others areas of work over the weekend. 

I started supporting this event when it was London weekend and I essentially moved equipment around and made tea, someone had to do it!!!  With experience came responsibilty to the stage of now being an established member of the management team. Over the years I have made some great friends through MAYC so please don’t be shy about asking if you can help out. 

 My background is a technical one, so keep an eye out for future bloggs where I hope to be able to share some of the stats about the equipment we will be using over the weekend. 

I hope your looking forward to the event as much as we are, don’t forget to send us your details if you want to be involved but also send us your ideas for what you would like to see over the weekend at Cliff.

Looking forward to meeting you all at Cliff!

Mark

Well I don’t know about anyone else but i’m excited about Breakout already! It’s gonna be great!

Oh yeah I should probably say who I am :-s I’m Paul and i’m on the management team looking after youth participation. “What on earth is that?” I hear you cry! Well i’m here to make sure Breakout ties in with whats going on with regards to youth work in the rest of the Methodist Church.

One of the main aspects of Breakout is going to be that people are going to be placed in to villages. These villages will take part in activities together and will join up and take part in activities with other villages as well as the entire of Breakout. Through this you will be able to make new friends and links so you can take back some of the enthusiasm and excitement of Breakout with you.

 Well I gotta go now but keep your eyes peeled on the Blog for more info.

We had a management team meeting at Cliff College (the venue for breakout08) over the weekend and it was really good to get everyone together.  We haven’t met since March and for some teams there has been some real progress.

We had a walk around the site, and I showed the rest of the team how to post their own blogs, so hopefully you will hear from a few more people than just me and ‘other’ Rob!

Hi! I’m Rob Redpath and I’m one of the two ICT team members on the Breakout Management group. alongside Vince. My technical specialism lies with mobile technologies and media content delivery, while Vince, as the IT manager for the Methodist Church, specialises more in networking and infrastructure. Together we make a mean service delivery team and we’ve got exciting things planned for the event. Stay tuned…

Hi there,

I just wanted to say hi - and to let you know that the blogs are now live.  Each of the members of the team will be dropping in to say hello and introduce themselves - and to tell you how they play a part in the organisation of Breakout.

On that note,  hello, my name is Rob Haworth.  I am one of the event managers for Breakout’s event management company (Affinity Events) and am also looking after the event website (more on that soon!).  As I’m the first to post, let me also be the first to welcome you to the site.
