Venturers return for changeover.

Having sucessfuly competed their various projects, the alpha groups returned to field base for a couple of days of catching up, laundry washing and, of course, pizza eating. Throughout the phase, the groups have been preparing skits about their experiences, and yesterday they performed them in front of the venturers and a panel of judges, who marked the performances under categories such as comedy, inclusion of all group members and use of more than one language. The quality was very high and the judges had a tough job but the winners were alpha 5, who were rewarded for their efforts with ice cream and marshmellows.
