Friday 10th October 2008 - Tea time

We’re all home safe and sound now - no photos on this one because no-one had any batteries still working in their cameras. Journey was fine and everything went smoothly (apart from Chelsea falling out of her bunk!) though it seemed to take ages to get back and we all still feel like we’re moving (we’ve spent so long on trains that our bodies have got used to the way they move!). Time to catch up on some sleep now ;)

Thursday 9th October 2008 - Night time Adios Barcelona :( This is us on the Ellipsos just before we pulled out of Barcelona station - as you can see we’re all sad to be leaving because we’ve had an amazing time. We did manage to have a bit of fun still by celebrating Chris’ birthday with a surprise cake - it took us about 20 minutes to explain to the train staff what we wanted to do though as we weren’t sure if lighting the candle would set off the fire alarms! In the end we just did it really quickly just in case as we had visions of the whole train coming to a grinding halt just because of us which would’ve been a bit embarassing… We’re really looking forward to seeing our families and friends again but it’s going to feel weird going back to normal school on Monday rather having loads more new experiences. This trip is something we’ll all remember forever with loads of great laughs in among the hard work and we’ll always be the SUB Team no matter what else we go on to do next! SUB Team, Barcelona ‘08

Thursday 9th October 2008 - Day time Nou Camp visit - come on Barca!! Wow is the only word to use to describe it - everything from the virtual tour to the dressing rooms was amazing and we even got to stand on the pitch briefly (even though we weren’t really supposed to…). Was a little (!!) bit bigger than Darlo’s ground and the atmosphere on match days must be incredible. Shop was good and we all got plenty of stuff to take home though to be honest most of us bought stuff for ourselves too not just for people back home - will be wearing our Barca shirts on the journey home so keep an eye out for us at the station!

See what we presented

Wednesday 8th October, 2008 - Afternoon

We have uploaded all the cartoons and videos that we presented in our session. You can see them on this webpage.

We are now editing the video we took of the session, and the video we took at the conference, and will add that to the website soon!

We have enjoyed Barcelona, but Thursday is our last day and then it is time for us to head home.

Wednesday 8th October, 2008 - Afternoon SUB team in action! This afternoon we gave our presentation at the conference to delegates from seven different countries. We were all really nervous before we started but once we got going it wasn’t so bad! The people who came were lovely and we got lots of good ideas for our campaigns when we get back to England as well as telling them all about what we’d done so far. We’re going to the Hard Rock Cafe to celebrate so check back later for more on that! Dee, SUB Team Barcelona 2008 Wednesday 8th October, 2008 - Night Hard Rock Cafe was awesome!! All ate far too much (the chocolate brownie ice cream was one step too far for most of us…) and had an amazing time though we did get some funny looks when the WHOLE table kept bursting into song!! We’re off exploring Barcelona tomorrow - can’t wait!

Chelsea was the producer, Dee was on sound, Chris S was the reporter and Helen was on camera. We all did really well on our jobs and it was great fun.
