What do you do when the field trip is cancelled due to low numbers? Easy - you create a field trip yourself. In this instance I got to combine two of my most favourite things: checking out facilities and all things planning, while on a bicycle. The perfect combo.
The weather was a bit dodgy, but that didn't stop some keen locals participating in a game of 3-a-side football utilising a commercially run caged turf.
I'm attending the IAKS Congress this week, with the theme being Creating high-performing facilities for an active future. This congress programme looks fantastic and there is even a sprinkling of Aotearoa's experts on the speaking list.
It will be interesting to see what innovations are occurring elsewhere in the world that I can bring back to share with the RSL team and our clients; current and future.
Feel free to check out the programme and flick me a message if you have any questions. Thanks also to those IAKS members or previous Congress attendees who gave me the feedback I needed to bite the bullet and come over here.
More updates to follow.
