Mark has been busy - and has made a video from some of the footage which we took at the 2006 event and turned it into a fantastic promo for the 2008 event!

Greetings
I hope you have all had a good summer and made good use of your holidays. The Entertainments team have been keeping busy planning what’s going to be happening at Breakout. The ink is still wet on the contract that we signed on Saturday, and we are really excited and pleased to be able to report that Yfriday will be playing at Breakout. Yfriday’s website is ‘yfriday.co.uk’ and there’s loads of great information about the band etc.
The publicity DVD is now finished(Yfriday provide the music for this DVD!) and will be going to be duplicated in the next few days. Hopefully your youth leader will receive their copy soon, but if you can’t wait you will be able to download a copy from this website shortly. Rob is in the process of pressing the right buttons to make this happen as we speak. The DVD uses footage from Breakout 06 which took place in Blackpool. If you were there, look out you might see you yourself!
We are in the final stages of negiotating with other bands and hope to be able to sign a few more contracts in the next few weeks.
So keep looking out for the updates which I will post as soon as there is any new information.
In the mean time will keep being scared by the countdown clock, Only 297 days 23 hours and 2 mins to go !!!!
God Bless
Mark & the entertainments team
Who likes sandwiches? I do !
At the moment I am trying to sort out the supply of over 3000 packets of sandwiches for breakout… thats a lot of loaves of bread. What is your favorite…? I’m a bit of a Tuna Mayo fan.
At my local church Youth group we once had a cooking competition, part of which was making the most interesting and different sandwich. Guess what, I was the judge so had to taste them all.  The winning sandwich included Egg, Icing, marmite and jam - my stomach still turns at the thought!
I will let you know how I am getting on soon.
Just a quick post to let you know that we’ve added a count down clock to the website - so at the time of writing there are 301 days, 1 hour, 33 minutes and 25 seconds to go until the event starts.
More soon
Rob
So it’s quite a while since any of the team have posted on the blog - the truth is that with the summer holidays we’ve been away or been working on other projects. Mike emailed me this week with the Theological Statement for the event, which I’ve turned into a PDF which can now been downloaded from the About Breakout page.
So the major push for the next few months (for me anyway) is to work with all of the teams to make sure that all of the event infrastructure is booked and ordered - as well as working with our Production Manager, Andy - who looks after all things technical - to make sure that everyone has everything that they need, at the time they need it and where they need it - no pressure there then!
We’ve another meeting in a couple of weeks, so I’ll give everyone a prod to remind them to post where they are up to.
Bye for now…
Rob
