First Guests

On Friday evening we welcomed our first guests to the college guest house. We are now responsible for evening and weekend hospitality. It was very helpful that the group leader, George, had been here many times before so he could show us what to do because we only had our initiation one hour before. It was also an answer to some concern about our blog instructuions being in German - a member of the group was a computer tec and was able to show us how to change the language each time we need to made a new message. Here is the college canteen with the kitchen in the background and Jane second in from the left:
