Day 12 - My Adventures in Glasgow!!!! (Last Shift at Hampden Park) (1st August)

After having a lie in, today was my final shift at Hampden Park. After having some breakfast, I relaxed at the campsite for the rest of morning and early afternoon watching the television in the bar!

After some lunch (another pot noddle of the week), it was time to leave for another shift at Hampden Park! I took the bus to Battlefield Road and then I walked to Hampden Park! After going through security and  checking in, I went to the Print Distribution Room ready to start my shift!

When I arrived Hannah (one of the managers) and other members were already doing some printing, photocopying and delivering, as it was relay night and no morning shift and there were changes to the relay starts lists. So it was straight into it! So once they were out of the way and everyone had arrived me and Fraser did our final briefing.

After the briefing we all went down to workforce break area to have some food before the night action started.

Once the action started the process was a calm process like the previous shifts. We continued to plan ahead as much as we could making it a lot easier. The team all worked well. Tonight there were problems and it was all to do with relay starts list as each team only announced who is running less than hour before each race and it was causing problems as clients were wanting them quicker than we could get them out because of them being so late. But apart from those reports we didn't have any other problems, apart from some of reports took a long time to come through the printer or got missed.

We continued to deliver, print and photocopy reports until the about 11.00pm. 

With this being our last shift we all said our goodbyes. Hannah (one of the managers) gave her thanks to us and a group of us went down on the track and had our picture taken on the medal ceremony podium. Also when we were down there Sally Pearson (Won 100m hurdles gold medal) appeared on the track to do an interview but we left her alone.

I was sad leaving Hampden Park for the final time as I had really enjoyed working at the athletics venue and seeing a behind the scene side to a major athletics and sport event. 

I went back to campsite via two trains. Once back at the campsite I went to sleep after a long day! (I arrived home at midnight!)

So my final full day completed and tomorrow my Glasgow adventure will come to an end!
