This is a strange old time for everyone but as a team we can be a rock for each other and keep everyone's spirits up with virtual/remote activities. Becky had the idea to mark our response to this situation in some way. So I've been thinking about ways to do just that. 

We're all scheduled for a zoom meet up on Monday where we can discuss these things, but my thought was to have regular Monday zoom sessions which might be used for stepping practice if we can make it work or for general chats. And we could have "pub session" for Fridays or Saturdays to give our weeks more structure? If people like the sound of that, drinking game ideas would be welcome (I've got one - The Ministry of Supplies - did anyone else play that game at school?). And we seem to be a very crafty group, so if people would like a mid week craft-a-long, that could work. We're also a musical bunch, so musician sessions might be something we want to try too?

Another thing was to use the whatsapp group to share favourite Raven memories, events, photos and challenges. I would use these images, anecdotes and screen grabs of chats to make a virtual "scrapbook" (and in time another physical one too?).

I know everyone's responses to this situation will be different so I don't want to assume everyone is happy to have their chats and images captured. Please let me know if you'd like to opt out of any of these activities. And if you are happy to participate remember - you don't need to do every single chat or activity - only join in with what you have the energy for!

Thanks, 

Ravens... I love you all. See you Monday.
