A big hey to everyone out there from the Youth Participation group. After an absence we are back in action and one thing were really excited about is Breakout Radio. Breakout will have a radio station going out over the course of weekend and it will be a chance for you.. yes you, to share your views on the church and the world at large. To that end, as well as wanting people to present over the weekend,  we are looking for anyone who might be interested in helping us produce content to go out over the weekend. There will be a training weekend for people who are wanting to take part in June and places are limited so register your interest ASAP to participation@breakout2008.infoHope your all doing well and we look forward to seeing you all in July! Paul & Dan

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

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

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!
