EUCO 2008 London

The EUCO Host Organising Committee (or “Crew” as our shirts say on the back) met for the final time, before EUCO starts, today in Maidenhead.

We worked through every aspect of EUCO 2008 and confirmed that all arrangements are running to plan. Much of the preparatory work is complete. We also ran through the plans for the arrival of the crew onsite at the EUCO 2008 HQ - the Globetrotter Inn. Our team will be in place at Globetrotter Inn from 11am on Monday 28th April to establish our office and store the equipment and supplies needed to operate EUCO. We will be preparing delegate check-in packs on Monday (enabling a swift and easy checkin for delegates that have their E-Ticket printed out) and Tuesday will see the production line to assemble the delegate “goody” bags. If you are arriving in London before 30th April - contact us to find out how you can join in and help with the delegate bags.

The meeting finished earlier than expected - as we moved through all the action point items and we are on, or ahead, of schedule in all areas.

Hello everyone,

My name is Keith Pickles, EUCO conference crew member helping with Publicity and where ever I can. I will be the main crew member based at Holland House over the event and am looking forward to meeting everyone!

I have seen EUCO 2008 London go from an idea at the RGBI (Rotaract in Great Britain and Ireland) council meeting in August 2006 through to Bid and beyond. A what a journey it has been! The highlight for me (so far) was when we hit 40 countries for the 40th Anniversary of Rotaract!

I am responsible for the Theatreland tour and hope those of you going on it enjoy

I have been in Rotaract for over 3 years now and am in line to be the next RGBI Chairman, I look forward to the chnace to network with so many Rotaractors. I work for a UK based Building Society, the largest in the world and am keen to compare working practices with fellow financial institution workers

If you see me say hello and I hope you all enjoy your time in London, as Tigger the Tiger (from Winnie the Pooh) says, t.t.f.n. (ta ta for now) tanks, Keef
