If you are a follower of the SMASH Blog, you could be forgiven for thinking that things have all gone a bit quiet recently. I have to report that you couldn’t be more wrong. In fact we’ve been so busy I’ve not had time to update it; We’ve matched most of team 19, Team 20 have finished training, been karting, rock climbing, attended an arts workshop, received their certificates from the mayor and are now all on the verge of being matched too. The new Crowdys Hill bunch, “The Crowdys Climbers” are well under way, 10 volunteers from Intel are at this moment gearing up to come and redecorate our offices… In fact there is too much to list here so here are a few recent pics to keep you going and a list of upcoming attractions at SMASH.
