Facebook group

We're in Dubai now, enjoying the last stage of our amazing trip.

We've had problems with this blog all along, unfortunately, partly due to lack of time to keep it updated, but also it has been quite unwieldy, requiring a lot of effort to upload pictures for example.

Therefore, at this late stage, we've created a Facebook group which you're all welcome to join. The group is likely to live on for quite some time as we go home to upload pictures, sort through our experiences and so on.

Welcome to continue sharing with us!

The District Conference is over

The 74th District Conference in Bahrain is now over. We held our presentation at 11 o'clock and it was both well attended and seemed appreciated. This time we wanted to do something more than just talk about ourselves and Sweden, so we also talked about how our trip has affected us, both professionally and personally. The District Governor, Mr Nijad Al-Atassi - a very nice man! - also seemed pleased with his gift of a chair from Kinnarps.

Apart from that, I think the conference highlight was the announcement of the inclusion of Palestine in District 2450, with its first club in Ramallah. When the flag was carried in people jumped to their feet to applaud and cheer!
